Question about dual video cards....

[Morox]

First of all, I have an MSI 975x platinum motherboard and a Geforce 7950gt video card and was wondering if it's possible to have dual of this same card? I am unsure as where to begin to look to see on what is possible to have has a second video card. Any suggestions?

Yes, it is called SLI.
You just have to have a sli capable motherboard.
Which yours isn't.

Yeah, I find that lame. I'm not a fan of Radeon, I wish it supported Nvidia cards....

radeon = ATI
geforce = NVidia
and by the way, you CAN have dual 7950gt video cards with that motherboard... you just need this

(it fits all motherboards)
and some hacked geforce video drivers.

How reliable are bridges? I don't want to go out and buy a video card and a bridge and then find out that it doesn't work.

Also, wouldn't I need that Asus mobo to use the bridge?

Bump.

Don't get that. it looks pretty sketchy to me. Something tells me it is a DIY kinda SLI, which you can't garuntee if it will work.

Is there any other options? Or am I sol?
