HI all, new to here, hope someone can help.
I have an ASUS M2N SLI Deluxe Mother Board, a friend has given me 2 x XFX (nvidia) 8800 GTXwith 766 of DDR 3.
At the moment i am running a single Nvidia 9600 GT 512 DDR 3 water cooled
Ok Question is if i put these two cards into my computer, the 2 x 16 slots will be reduced to 2 x 8 slots, will i notice any worth while change or stay as I am because altering the water system will be a pain, is it worthy it.
Other alternative is to put the cards on two PCIe extention cables I have to miss the water cooling pipes, will this alter the cards performance, cables are about 5 inch long, do i need to earth them to the chassis, PHEW
Any help would be great
AND sorry to mods for double post, put this as a discussion in eror oops
Thanks in advance
