Any Dual Cards?

[ScottALot]

I bought the BFG Tech GeForce 9800GT for my GA MA790X UD4P, looking for a good graphics card, but not thinking about SLI or Crossfire. Will I be able to get SLI or Crossfire with this card?

yeah, but what most people dont know is that u can actually sli a 9800gt with an 8800gt.

On that mobo?

 

[ganzey]

i think the motherboard supports crossfire only which means buying another nvidia gpu wont work

That's what I thought.

That's what I thought.

you have a few options! sell your current gpu and buy ati, then when it comes time to upgrade again you can just go crossfire

or settle with your current gpu

or buy a single better performing gpu nvidia or ati!

dont worry i made the same mistake a while back, my aging 7950gt wasnt what it used to be so i sorced another and though i might aswell go sli until i realised my motherboard only supported crossfire

You could pick up a 4850, 4870, or 4890(awesome card) and see much more performance, and then upgrade to crossfire in the future if you want, which the longer you hold that 8800gt the less you can get selling it(craigslist is the best place to sell gpu's imo).

Alright, I'll try to sell it after my computer's built. I really want to get this thing up and running before I do any parts trading/upgrading.
