I've been out of the game for awhile and my friend has an sli mobo for the right price as well as a newer XFX 7600GT, I have a eVGA 7600GT, it is one that I bought right when they came out, are these compatible?
 
Yah it should still work. Both cards are of the same GPU family and are the same model.
 
Will my blue Fortron 500 watt psu handle that?

I just need that dealy that goes from 1 card to the other and what do I need to plug into the cards/mobo for power?
 
Whats model and spec is that Fortron 500 watt psu? How many amps are on the +12v?
 
This PS has a total of 40 amps on the +12V. It should be more than enough for those 2 x 7600GT cards. Do those cards have separate power plugs that needs to be connected? I think the 7600GT cards don't require additional power. You need the SLI bridge to connect these to cards in SLI. Also, depending on what mobo you have, you may have to configure it to be set in SLI mode.

Are you referring to your ABIT AA8XE mobo? You cannot run SLI on that board as it uses an Intel 925XE chipset.

I think he's referring to the SLI mobo his friend is going to sell to him.

What SLI mobo is your friend going to sell to you? And for how much? Also, how much for your friend's XFX 7600GT?
 
Oops sorry. Hehe. But, what SLI board is this friend giving you? Asus? MSI? Abit? What model board and chipset? 650i? 680i?
 
i dunno about sli two diff cards like that... esp since xfx clocks the hell out of their stuff.

In SLI, the fastest card will operate at the speed of the lowest card. So the XFX card will be downclocked to match that of the eVGA card.
 
Its an asus P5N32-SLI deluxe, but I'm not sure I am going to buy it anymore because with the money I would spend on the sli mobo and gfx card I could probably just get an 8 series card. Plus I am saving my money for other things, so...
 
Yah no need. It's only a 650i board with an outdated chipset. You might as well get 1 x 8800 card that will beat those 2 x 7600GT in SLI.
