What to do with 9800 gt

[Gosu-Vu]

I recently borrowed a 9800gt from my friend to try and sli his together with mine. For some reason they won't SLI. I tried everything humanly possible. Read 100 different forums etc.. He said he doesn't even want the card back so should i even try to sell it and get another card similar to mine? Or what should I try and do. Should I try and sell both these 9800 gt and just get a better single graphics card all together? Suggestions please.

First Card :
Evga 9800 gt Superclocked Edition 512 MB

Second Card:
9800 gt

I have a better idea, how about save some money + sell both of cards and get a single better one, like GTX560 Ti?

but first, we must know your FULL specs before suggesting anything...

if you cant get them to work sli then sell them on ebay but you'll only get about £25 each for them which is about $40 in U.S i think. so £50/$80 - what can you really get for that?? if you could add another £30-£40/$48-$63 to that you could buy a secondhand 4870x2 which would be a very nice step indeed!!

Really, you have a NICE setup there...
You should save money from now and sell both cards to get a single powerful card like GTX560 Ti or better and happy gaming...
