You can...but it will perform as twice as fast as the SLOWEST card (at best; because you can't get twice the performance anyway).

8800 card alone will be faster than 8600+8800 SLI setup.

yeah buy a one faster card like 800gts or gtx ultra's 2 but i don't think you could find any in SL...if you sli,also consider about ur power unit...coz sli need at least a 500w power supply

me 2 that's why i'll go for a 8800gts for ma next pc:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

1000 watts i don't think so bcoz gts takes about 100w so 2 means like 200w i don't think u need a 1000w powersupply but if u go overclocking u need more than 500w

[Anusha]

me 2 that's why i'll go for a 8800gts for ma next pc:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
I hope that is not in another 5 years :P

Don't look at it in terms of wattage only.
For example, dexter.morgan.666 told me his 8800GTS 320 couldn't even start with the normal 500W power supplies you get with normal cases. He had to buy a high quality 550W PSU for his PC. That's only a 320MB!!! Think of two 8800 Ultras :shocked:

nope it's in 2008 april hehehehhe:D

hmmm that's strange bocz in the nvidia site they say that minimum power supply for 8800gts is 400w... sure that's a 500w power supply

My mistake...

However I still don't think a 500W generic PSU would have made any difference.

I believe mine will be able to handle it though....it is not as cheap as the generic PSUs.

But it doesn't have the power cables :P
