Should I go SLI or go ATi?

IMO, SLI or X1900XT are both good options. But the real question is how much will you gain by doing a vidcard upgrade? How fast is the rest of your system? Which racing sim is it that you need it for? What resolution are you running, that you need a video upgrade?

BTW a 500W Enermax will handle a single X1900XT or 7900 SLI with no problem at all. What I would do is wait a few weeks for the new 7950 GT - should be a great card - or, if you want some more, wait a bit more for the new X1950 XTX. Most of the time, single-card >> dual-card, in terms of price-performance.

If you only need a small (50%) bump in performance, $139 will do ya - assuming you're in the US

Edit: Wow, that sold out quick - For the record, they were selling a 7900GS for $139, but it sold out after a couple hours
