EVGA 8800GTS help request

twitch227 · 02-06-2008, 05:55 AM

can anyone tell me the difference(if any) between the 512-P3-N841-AR model and the 512-P3-N841-A3 model EVGA 8800GTS? i've looked over all the specs i could find and they seem identical, i just want to make sure i'm not mistaken. thanks.

Who wouldn't like Crysis? It's a awesome game, I finally got around to finishing it, what an amazing ride man. Everyone with the setup to be able to play it should do so, and anyone without should go out there and upgrade their setup so they can.

yes, the qualifications for something to run in SLI or Crossfire is that they are the same chipset and preferably, although not nessecary, to have the same amount of memory.

IE, you have an 8800gts, you can use an 8800gts for SLI, but not an 8600gt.
and if you have a 512mb card, then you want another 512mb card, although, you can get lets say a 256mg card, but it'll bottleneck your 512mb card down to 256mb and you'll lose that memory

but its still doable.
