You can't SLI the 650.

Also you would be better off getting a better card with more VRAM instead of two cruddy cards stuck at 1 gig. What's your budget?

edit: i stand corrected. I didn't realize the BOOST had that feature. 550-600 would be fine.

well, actually it is the 650 Ti BOOST and yes they do support SLI, while the normal 650 and 650 Ti don't.... and i am willing to spend about $140 - $150 on a graphics card for now... i dont know if there is anything better than the 650 Ti BOOST at that price range right now?
 


There isn't

Tho, Id get the 2Gb version for $155
