Hey all - i am interested in getting another video card so that i can run dual video cards in SLI mode.
My question is that you NEED to have the exact same model/brand etc of card to run the SLI correctly? Im assuming this is the case - is there anything you guys could tell me that i would need to know...
(IE - could i get a Nvidida 8800 or a XFX 8800 ??? Or does it NEED to be the exact same model ...?)
I am currently running a BFG 8800 GTS OC 320mb - and i would like tp pick up another if you all think it would be worth it - i was thinking it would be as i might start to get limited with only 320mb of RAM when running the brand new games in DX10 etc - is this the case or should my current single card be enough?
Another quick question - i have a 19" LCD screen. It is the following model:
Optiquest Q91b
When i run games, i get blurring on the screen as if my FPS is low (yet i know i never go below 30fps... altho im usually in the high 60's and way above...). So im assuming the screen is causing this 'ghosting' effect? Is this true - if so, is there something i can do to limit this?
Are there any screens you could recommend for people on a budget looking to get a decent new screen that will not have ghosting at all etc - its frustrating playing games that look SO good - then have flickering and ghosting when shooting/playing games.
Any ideas/tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all.
