Would this Sli setup run or Fail?

[Grimspoon]

Ok so I am keen to get another 8800GT to accompany my current 8800 but need to know if I can mix this new card with my current card.

My current card is a XFX 8800GT Alpha Dog Zalman edition (NOT Factory over clocked but I have OC myself)

and I can get a Asus 8800GT TOP 512 MB edition.


Obvious question - will they run in SLi?

Yip they will

Only if you have a SLI enabled board

Yeah obviously I have a P5Nd.

Another question - is it worth it? I am running 1920 res on a 23 inch LCD.

What power supply do you have?

How much are you paying for the card?

Might be worth it IMO

 

[Grimspoon]

Yeah I also think it might just be worth it especially considering that I am running at a high res.

Lol well he didnt specifiy, SLI dont just work with two cards you know

Yeah if u got a 23" its definitely worth it, a 9800GX2 even beats the GTX280 in some games. I would be down for that if I were you.

Depends on how much you are paying for the new card.

Sli 8800GTs would perform better than the GX2 and they are cheaper
