    Which PCIe 2.0 Slots for SLi

    Hey guys, I want to run 2 9800gtx+ in SLI with this Motherboard (Asus Pro P55) My question is this: I want to run my two cards in SLi with both at 8x 8x speed NOT 16x 4x. So, which 2 slots out of the 3 on that board should I put the cards in to get 8x 8x speed? Thanks again!

    Will these 2 cards work in SLi?

    I know in order to have SLi function properly you need to have the same 2 cards. However, I was wondering if the following two cards can be used in SLi (notice the different core clock speeds and model numbers): Card 1: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130416 Card 2...

    301mhz? wtf

    To make sure one of them wasn't working. If they both give the same reading then it's most likely right. If one gives 302 and the other gives 602...then one is wrong. Thanks for all the throttling help. But I am reading that my clocks are behaving normally now. Yet the stuttering...

    301mhz? wtf

    Should I Step Up????

    I currently have a Geforce GTX 260 Superclocked Edition that I purchased for $254.99. I am thinking about stepping up to the Geforce GTX 280 for an ADDITIONAL $195.00 So is $195 dollars worth the upgrade from the 260 to the 280? My Specs: CPU: Core 2 Duo e8500 RAM: 4 GB DDR2 OS...
