    Hello all,

    I was just wondering if it would be better to run one single Geforce 9800 GTX at on a pci-express x16 bus at full capacity or 2 Geforce 9600 GTs SLI each operating at pci-express x8 capacity.

    My motherboard is an Asus a8n-sli deluxe motherboard and I currently have a 600Watt OCZ psu (OCZ600GXSSLI)

    Thanks

    im not an expert on these things, but i would say get the two 9600's and run them in sli.

    If your thinking of upgarding to a new Video Card you could also consider a HD4870 or HD4850 reviews coming in are showing that the HD4870 is beating the 9800 GTX and at half the price!! Have a look around for HD4870 reviews they are looking "very good" and suprising many.

    Come to think of it, a Radeon video card would work well too, as long as I only use one. My motherboard doesn't support crossfire. Thanks for the tip!
