    Just spent $650.00 on vid card and while it works, it doesn't work well. I'm running it on an MSI K8n SLI. Power supply is Enermax 535watt. Chipset is Nvidia NForce 4. I wont go into all the specifics, let's just say it isn't working right. Here's my questions:

    1.) Should I switch around the little pcb between the two PCIE slots to SLI mode even though this is a dual GPU, single slot card? I haven't done that yet because I figured all that little SLI switch card does is activate the second slot and since this is a single card solution...

    2.) What the heck is "SBIOS" I know what BIOS is but have never heard of "S"BIOS. According to Nvidia'a web site, this card will work on any SLI capable motherboard "with a properly configured "SBIOS".

    Thankx

    make sure the motherboard BIOS is up to date; most will need to be updated to allow a dual gpu card to run
