Links to good info is all I need, but answers appreciated.

One how much benefit is there? I see you can mix manufacturers cards, is that risky? What needs to be the same on the card the chipset? Can different cards be mixed; that is an 800xl with an 800gto or 850xt?

Your asking about SLI in the nvidia forum and you have ATI cards.

I suggest you just leave you computer alone before you hurt it.

You're right, you didnt :) but, you did ask about SLI which is a feature only nvidia cards have! What you want is Crossfire, which is ATI's way of using dual cards. For crossfire to work, you need at least one crossfire edition of a card, and it has to be the same GPU, not sure about the brand.

You can try running ati cards in sli all day.................but your not gonna have much luck :D

In reality, crossfire or sli usually gives you about a 1.8x performance, not quite double but its getting closer and closer with newer drivers, etc. It was worth it to me, but it is quite expensive sometimes.
