Hi there. I currently have Club 3D 8600GT (CGNX-G866DDC) graphic card in my PC and I was thinking of buying another one to connect in SLI mode. I found this card ASUS PCIx EN8600GT 2DHT/256MB GDDR3 and I'm wondering can these two be connected in SLI? They should, but I would like second oppinion.

hi
EDY not quite the answer but... consider the difference in price between the 8600 and a 8800Gt , why go sli when the 8800GT will exceed 2 8600 cards , i dont know your market price difference but i would look around 1st. It wouldnt be worth it in the UK asus 9600 gt 512 £82 asus 8800gt 512 £77 asus 8600gt 256 £54
for a few quid more better performance all round.

The Asus 8600GT is used so I'm getting it pretty cheaply :) Of course if they can be connected...

Just make sure your PSU can handle it.
