My question is back when I bought my video cards xfx 7600gt they where a match set for sli, but I never used them that way I had 2 computer to build so each got one. now one of them has a bad m board luckily it was the 939 socket and the am2+ is still good and has a duel core in it, so I though I would just make it a little better. money is tight and I want to try to keep up with friend and play at some of the lan party's, can I just put the 2 cards in the one in sli and get good performance or are they old enough cards that I need to just get a new one? the board does suport sli and it came with the sli bridge, it has a AMD 3800 x2 with 2gig mem and a legal copy of xp home.

Those cards in SLI should play games at 1024X768.

You don't have to upgrade now...

Make sure your PSU is good enough to handle two of them together.

If you have no money to spend then does it matter if sli is worth it?

Just hook it up and you should be fine though.

Well 7600gt is a pretty old card and since your budget consists of $0 your sli 7600gt is going to have to do. It should perform less than a 7800gt, which in today's games is not really much, but since you're gaming at 1024x768 it should do.

+1,for 1024x768 SLI isn't worth it but since u don't have money to spend then u have no choice but to get the other 7600
