thanx.

Think you can but it will run at the slower card's speed. If I remember correctly the newer drivers made this possible

BTW why bother with SLI? Just get one decent high-end card

 

[dirk-tooth]

I have a SLI ready mb and my money is in short supply
and if i do it should i put the 8600gt 1gb as master card?

 

[scotty777]

ok, what will happen is you will have an sli system, only problem is it will only run with 512mb memory, but that's not to bad as those gpu's won't use up all 512mb let along a gig
but you can

thanx man would u recommend it ?

 

[hashbrown99]

Yes - the 1gb should be the master. Do you have an adequate PSU for this?

If you have 2 8600gt maybe sell them and get 1 decent card (8800gt or up)?

Check this forum's classifieds - shouldn't be too hard to locate one

Not worth the hassle IMO.

Tried it when it first came out. Just a fad really

 

[dirk-tooth]

jes,but I only have 1 card,the 8600gt 512 mb
must the cards be of the same brand name? or can I use a Forsa and a Asus?

 

[dirk-tooth]

As long as they're both Nvidia tech based it doesn't matter

 

[dirk-tooth]

lol working on that bro

That's two people giving you similar advice.


Seriously this is a better option than SLI or Cross-fire

yes, and when you got a proper pc, sell it and get yourself a proper gaming system, like an xbox....

heh....j/k

what do you recommend? ati or nvidia?

in this point in time, i'd say ATi is ahead of nVidia, price and performance wise...

 

[chickenbeef]

Try get the hd4850 if you can, you may have to add a little more money but its worth it.

 

[dirk-tooth]

what would you sugjest? ati of nvidia?
