The only thing I can say about running 2 nVidia cards in SLI mode is Holy @#*&!!!!!!!!! I have 2 6800 GTs OC, with the ASUS A8N SLI mobo, the FX-55 processor, (2)36.7 GB 10K Raptors in RAID 0, a 74GB 10K Raptor as my game drive, then I have everything watercooled. The performance boost from my old set up (XP 2200+ with a Ti4200 video card) is nothing less than amazing. I have everything cranked up to the max in FS and I don't think I have been under 65 fps yet. I highly recommend the dual video cards. It is something to behold! Very Happy

Nice setup FD! Got any benchmarks we can see? It's nice to crank it up and never have to worry about loss in FR huh? Wink

What res are you running your monitor at btw?

PICS! Smile

I haven't even figured out the best settings yet! I thought I had a decent setup when lo and behold, a CPU cooler comes out that can keep your CPU at -20 to -30 C. This is not a typo. Do a Google search on: Prometeia Mach 2 GT Phase Change Cooler. You can overclock any CPU and not have it give up the ghost from too much heat. I'll get you some BMs as soon as I figure out the optimal setting. Very Happy

I've been running 2 NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT graphics cards in SLI mode and I must say they are excellent. I also run the same single cards on two additional PC's connected to my network on which I run multiviews. Flawless is all I can say.

I might get another 7800 to put into SLI mode. Very Happy
