Other than the SLI capable Motherboard, Make sure your powersupply can handle the additional load. |

Its nice man, get RivaTuner and overclock it too and you will be in graphics heaven. Havent tried Crysis yet, but COD4 is silky smooth on my 22". I just started Far Cry and I dont know if its supposed to be a load on cards or not, but that looks awesome as well with all settings to the max. With all the jungle trees and stuff it looks great.

I have a Asus P5N-D with 2 PCi-E 16X 2.0 so yes it supports SLi.But I don't know about my PSU because I have only 31A an the +12v rail. I think it should work but at the limit . I have only 1 HDD ,1DvD rom and 2 GB ram and an E8400.

I think you'll be fine. You are sure about the 31A on the 12V rail, right? That is, we're not talking about 16A on rail 1 and 15A on rail 2, but 31A combined? What model is the PSU?

Going SLi with the 8800 GTS would make a pretty good upgrade, especially with the prices. The only thing is, I hope you have a good brand PSU. If you constantly push your PSU to it's limits you will shorten it's lifespan. --------------- Don't give up.

while everyone might not have a board capable of SLI physical slot wise, there is always hacked drivers for non nvidia chipsets if your willing to ask around, i agree with mactronix. The price/performance on sli'd 8800's compared to 200's/4800 couldn't be much nicer. --------------- Anywho back on planet earth where chaos reign's supreme.... http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=6357314 |

This is so crazy, people installing hacked drivers and then blaming nVidia or Microsoft for crashes. Plus, they might have spyware...
