Kaftan Barlast Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 This is probably the dumbest dilemma Ive had for a while but the thing is that I have an amount of money, and thes two objects cost the same and will probably bring about the same amount of fun. 1. The wheel - Forza2 got me seriously hooked on racing games and this would be an awesome thing to have. It can connect to the PC aswell with a thingie dongle. 2. The PSU - I have a giant 1920x1200 screen and two Geforce 7800GTX lying around, but I cant use both of them in SLi bcause I dont have the power. I need a bigger PSU. If I could use both, I would see perhaps 25% performance increase in most games, and I would be able to play Mass Effect on full 1920x1200. It would also be useful in the future I cant decide which would be more fun. Can you help me?

samm Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Probably can't help, because I never liked racing games except mario kart and toys like steering wheels hooked up to my computer, so I'm not a good advisor when saying: get the PSU and go SLI.

tripleRRR Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 The PSU, you can cause some damage long term with not having enough power for everything. Using a gamepad to control an FPS is like trying to fight evil through maple syrup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaftan Barlast Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 I put in the new PSU and to my great surprise its even quieter than my old Antec, which is very good. I dont have the hardware to push the power so I dont know what it sounds like at full blast, though. Running two 7800GTX in SLi works rather well, and now I can run every game in full 1980x1200 without a hitch. The problem is running both my screens in dualview, I tried it but that resulted in windows freezing up until i finally started in safemode, removed my drivers and the second card, and then started again with just one monitor.
