with the upcoming release of Farcry 2, ive been playing the map editor but it does slow itsself down to 20 odd fps... too slow for me..

i was just wondering.. i have at the min a 512mb XFX 8800 GT.. would i see much gain in getting another? its only £74.99 for another so it might be a cheap upgrade..

ive lost touch in the computer world now, so im not sure how effective SLi'ng actually is.

IIRC running the 8800's in SLI didnt really give much extra fps in most games on single screen set ups. You'd probably be much better off upgrading to a much better single card if anything, or not bothering wasting the £75.
