can i put 2 9800gx2 on a 750i motherboard?

Sell your GX2 while you can still make a profit...

EDIT: Maybe not a profit, but get something for it. I definitely wouldn't buy another.

Actually, I just checked the prices at newegg and they're okay (thought they were still in the 350-400 range). Personally, I would sell the one you have and get a GTX 280. If you want to run SLi in the future, you could get another 280 when the prices drop (and fold for team 44358 :D).

So, if you have a PSU that can support that setup, it would be okay, but I think the 280 is a better option. I believe the gaming benchmarks show the 280 as being superior.

AFAIK It's being discontinued. Which is bad business from driver support (or any support from that matter) point-of-view. Plus, it runs damn hot and I heard it doesn't scale that well at all (it comes with 2 GPUs, which practically means that it's a SLI setup on a single card), meaning that it's probably not really worth the price.

EDIT: Well, mep checked on the prices, price-wise it's apparently still a viable solution.
 
The GX2 is a sick card...great for gaming:) That card will last a while. A good friend of mine has a BFG OC'ed edition and that thing crushes games. Over 120 FPS Call of Duty 4. And that's just one card, you SLI them....you'll be smoking anything out there. It also runs cool, idles mid-high 50s and full load never breaks 70c. Gotta crank up the fan a little.

Have you already bought the cards? They are expensive, more than what they should be. The prices have dropped in the past month. If you have not bought the cards yet I would listen to Mep916, the GTX 280 will future proof you better.

Well said. I would've wrote all that, but I was too lazy. :P Right. The GX2 will soon be discontinued (suprised it hasn't been already) and nVidia's implementation of the dual GPU process in one package has always been sloppy. If you want a quad GPU setup, Radeon is the way to go. ;)
