Hey folks. Quick questions. When I disable SLI in the control pannel (you know "do not use SLI technology" ) does the card still suck power and generate heat?
how "off" can it be while disabled?
Many thanks.

The best and most clear indicator that we are progressing . . . is the way we treat other people - Ashton
| Asus P5N-E SLI | E6600 | 4GB DDR2-800 | 8800 GTS x 2 | WD 500 gig SATA | Corsair HX 520W | Antec P182 |
Disabling SLI just disables SLI and that is it. The card still has power but functions independently. If you are gaming with SLI off it won't use the 2nd card, but will stay powered and idle.
I think Nvidia is working on a hybrid technology which will turn OFF sli'ed cards, but that is in the works.
