And I need some help.
I've got about £300 I can spend.
I'm thinking of getting two cards running in SLI together.
The things I wanna know are:
-What cards can I get in my budget and how much will the two of them cost?
-How do I connect the two together so they work in SLI?
-Will my motherboard (Asus P5N-E SLI motherboard) take these two cards in SLI mode?
-Will a 700W PSU handle SLI?
-Will I need any extra cooling (I currently have 3 fans, 1 front, 1 back and 1 side)
-Will SLI work with my current specs?
-How do I set them up? Is it a matter of just plugging them into PCI slots, linking them together and installing the drivers?
-I Read something about needing a PCI power supply lead or something?
-Am I Going to have to buy a new PSU?
-Is there a tutorial with video or pictures to show how to connect them up?
-Is it a matter of connecting two of them together with the bridge cable and then installing the drivers?
My current specs are:
Intel Quad Core Q6600 2.40Ghz x4
Geforce 8500GTS
4GB DDR2 RAM
Sound Blaster X-Fi Extreme Gamer Sound Card
1.5TB Total HDD
Asus P5N-E SLI motherboard
Thanks for any help I recieve
