Ok, i google this a bit, and the only hits i got were people asking how to overclock 7300's when you have 2 of them in sli...

One of the responses was the second card follows whatever clock is placed on the first card. is this correct? i would hazard a guess as to it's not but still ya never know.

So, if this is not true, how do you overclock 2 8800GT's? do you stick one in, overclock it, flash it, shelf it, stick the second card in, oc it, flash it, and then stick the first one in the second slot or is there another way? in rivatuner is it possible to select both cards and overclock them both? im not too keen on having 1 fast 8800GT and 1 slow....


In any case, does anyone know of any benches of 2 8800GT's vs a single HD4850? price wise, they are very similar (if ya shop around a bit...) i googled around a bit and couldn't find any :(

Thanks in advance for responses.
