I am building a new PC and found myself in a surprise situation. I had no expectation of being able to do SLI on my budget but found the GTS450SC 1GBDDR5 on sale for $60AR each and bought two for the price. I had already purchased the Gigabyte GA-870A-UD3 motherboard based on other features I wanted not focusing on SLI functionality. After reading the SLI FAQs and searching around it looks like I could run both cards in a x16/x4 configuration on this board but the FAQ says this is the "worst" of the 3 SLI configurations. I am only a moderate gamer but am hoping to do some video editing of my new baby boy. Is it worth running the two GTS450SC cards in SLI? Will it make a worthwhile difference in terms of video and maybe CUDA using Badaboom? Or should I return the second card? All of the related postings I could find focused on strictly gaming performance, while I will play games this purchase is mostly for the video editing/transcoding I would like to be doing.
