I may give it a shot when my bank account matures some more. 'Course with a little girl on the way tha that may be 18 or 20 years...

Why not just get a better card to begin with? Why do with two cards when you can have one that still performs 50% better than two of them on SLI?

HAHA i had one of those for like 2 years before i started building my own computers. I hated that peice of crap - gave me like 5 fps while i was inoccently working on 3d modeling and game dev. Im still on a budget and dont have that great of a card - a radeon 9250 - but it handles playstation games (all of which i own so its legal), 3d modeling/game dev and and games less graphics-intensive than doom3. im happy with it

i will upgrade to it as soon as there is a motherboard that supports sli and dual opterons.... hell in the past 3 months they JUST released pci-xpress....

I'm currently building my PC, and I should be done in a few days. I got this SICK DFI LanParty mobo: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...356361&CatId=0. I also got this video card: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...351111&CatId=0 (prices in Canadian Dollars). My system isn't running yet but it looks VERY promising.

Discription of SLI:

nVidia SLI (Scalable Link Interface)
nVidia SLI™ (Scalable Link Interface) technology is a revolutionary approach to scalability and increased performance. nVidia SLI takes advantage of the increased bandwidth of the PCI Express™ bus architecture, and features hardware and software innovations within nVidia GPUs (graphics processing units) and nVidia nForce4 MCPs (media and communications processors). Together the nVidia SLI patent-pending technologies work seamlessly to deliver heart-pounding PC performance. And depending on the application, nVidia SLI can deliver as much as 2x the performance of a single GPU configuration for unparalleled gaming experiences.

As you can see, even though the prices are kinda high, I think it's well worth it. This new technology will really cut back on people buying and using 2x videocards, IMO. The extra $100 +/- you will be spending to get a mobo with an SLI chipset and a compatable videocard will be well worth it. It will definately save more money than using a second GPU, and it also means thinking ahead for better SLI videocards.

too much money i think. ii mean one day when we see cards like the 6800 ultra dropping to 100 bucks. sure why not ill try SLI. but for now, no

Rukkus you might wanna descide on one signature and stick with it. Yours is definately out of allowable specifications to this website. Both of them are the right size but when you have both of em.....it kinda defeats the purpose of making them that size in the first place.

I rescently burned up my 6800GT and went to 2 6600GT's in SLI and havent looked back. Hats off to Nvidia.

When they finally invent external graphics cards for laptops that plug in to your USB port then I will have SLi and I shall :pwn all.

SLI is kickass.........omg I <3 SLI

No Way!

Current SLI "paired" cards will be "wasted" by the 'next gen cards from ATI & Nvidia....

Those 'next gen cards will cost less, generate less heat & consume less power than a current
"sli setup"...

Why? -Scaled down manufacture process.. ("nm".. anyone?), -architectual advancements, -cooling advancements & technical advancements... to name a few.....


Most of us "oldtimers" have seen it before... all current technology will be put to shame by the future...
Today's 800 dollar card wil be "wasted" in 2 years, by a 200 dollar card.....


I've been into computers since I was a 10 year old kid (1980).... and I've seen PC's develop from the
IMB XT to the current offerings from AMD & Intel...

One thing I've learned... never go "high end" unless you've got cash to spare....

TDR

In the begining I did not plan for SLI so only bouht 1 card thinking that sooner or later a second PCI-E would come around cheap enough to go SLI. Now that I want to SLI the mate to my eVGA is elusive. So my thoughts are if you think you want SLI save up and do it the first time and save the hasle of hunting for a compatible card.

Well, I got a 939 SLI mobo to review, so I plunked down the cash for a pair of BFG 7800GT OC cards and let me tell you, SLI rocks.

I said no way. It's only really worth it if you can afford the top end cards, which I can't! This isnt to say that I believe it isn't good, I'd be the first to say that I'd love SLI 7800GTX's or Crossfire X1800XT's.

No way, right now there is no chance of geting that amount of money...
But I would love to have SLI setup...

Ya, same here.
I want dual processors (that are dual core) along with my SLI setup...

i want beef in bulk, not lean chicken breast.
GIVE ME CROSSFIRE ANYDAY!!!!
no but seriosly guys two 7800GTX or two 1900's, my choice is two 1900's
