How do we find out whether our Graphic Card has SLI?
Im using a Geforce 7800 GTX but i dont see any SLI in the NVIDIA Settings icon at the bottom right hand side of the screen..so i was wondering how do we know if we have SLI...Thx

It is SLI ready/capable. What to look for is the little tab at the top or the PCB for the SLI bridge to attach to (or the SLI Ready badge on the box).

And you have to have a second card...

 

[Archangel]

and a motherboard that is capable of having 2 cards. and ofcourse a strong enough PSU

Ya, your card is SLI ready, you'll need to buy another of the same card to have a SLI. Not to mention a SLI ready mobo.

 

[SuicideMayne]

yup u need a 2nd card and a sli ready mobo.

Another way to tell if your video card is SLI capable, go to www.newegg.com and click on video cards, then chose your card and select "sli capable" and if its listed, then you know that it can support SLI. Or do what Cromwell said, and look on top of the card to see if there is a SLI Bridge. (google for images if your not sure on what this looks like).
