hello,

I am looking to buy a new graphic card but I am not sure if I should buy one new one or just get a 2nd of my older version since my computer is SLI ready.

I have a Geforce 8600 GT right now.

main thing that will make up my mind is, I want to play the game crysis it says for Recommended - GPU – NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS/640 or similar

So what I want to know is will 2 8600's work or would it be in my best intrest to buy 1 newer one (maybee a 2nd down the road)

This is not the only reason i need a good card, I do alot of video editing and 3d animation.

to be honest, you cannot run crysis with the current hardware available on the market with all the eye candy.

even my nvidia geforce 9800GTX can't play crysis on very high unless its a small map or level, whichever you wish to call it.
