i have a EVGA 9800gtx and want to do SLI but a 9800gtx is still $300 where as a 9800gtx+ is $200 so i want to know can i SLI with the + version of the 9800gtx?

Probably not, seeing that they need to be exactly the same graphics card. The 9800gtx --> 9800gtx+ is sort of the same as the 8800gtx --> 8800ultra

Correct me if im wrong.

ok i did some real research and found that you can SLI them because the only change is a die shrink nothing else. took from EVGA FAQ: "Yes, the 9800 GTX models will be able to be used in an SLI configuration with the 9800 GTX+ model." I AM SOO HAPPY :D :love: :bounce: :kaola: http://www.evga.com/support/faq/af [...] aqid=58112
