yes you can

ok...right now..i planning to buy 9800gtx 2nd hand unit...is it my thermaltake TR2-550PP 550watt can handle this card?

i just wondering, if interest to 9800gx2 (quad sli), can my CM 850w modular psu handle the monster ...

I believe there's no problem with ur PSU.... But for me, I rather go for 2x GTX 280s instead of 2x 9800GX2..... The performance on the GTX 280 is much much better than the 9800GX2..... My opinion anyway.... But if u wanna try, then why not??

the price for gtx 280 ... the cheapest i can get in spore is 1450 .... witfout warranty ... in msia 9800gx2 only cost 1200 wif warranty ... price does matter ... hai ...

To me, the extra RM250 is really a minor issue.... unless it's like RM500 and above, then it's not worth it.... Just my opinion anyway.... But the 9800GX2 is not bad in performance... It's just that a lot of ppl are complaining about micro stuttering on these cards.... another issue is the FPS fluctuation is very very high.... So, to me, the additional RM250 will keep me more than happy for my rig's performance.... Btw, quad sli drivers aren't that good for now so I will stick to SLI.... Rm1450 is not a bad price for a GTX280.... Maybe u can search in the forums for a cheaper price.... I saw Leadtek GTX280 costs about RM13xx without Razer keyboard.....

wanna ask, can 2 same cards with different memory size be sli-ed? eg 8800GT 256MB sli with the 512MB model?

some dude tried something like this last time...

8800GTS 320mb + 8800GTS 640mb

didnt work

those want to 9800GX2 SLI is most stupid way of earth will do that

No games in this world will support Quad SLI for now and going Quad SLI will drop the games FPS

Right on.... Even Tri-SLi is better than Quad SLi....

only ONE card??? then u aint on SLI man...

u just have an SLI capable mobo....

anyway... u really need some cable management dude...

yeah, couldnt agree more with madman. good cable management also give better aiflow inside your casing, and looks more neat also

quote extracted from guru3d.com

"This is something you really need to keep in mind. Quad SLI gaming is intended for people that game at high-resolutions, preferable 2560x1600. But with more complex games the gain should be quite visible in say 1920x1200 as well. Everything below that is likely a waste of the investment."

i wanted to go for quad sli initially. but there's really no gain for me running on 22" monitor. dropped that idea after reading the site. IIRC, some forummer bought 2 9800GX2 and regretted. sold it off thereafter.

Nice specs but u r on ONE card means u r not on SLi.... SLi requires 2 GPUs or above.... The cables are hurting our eyes man.... Make it neater..... Neat = better airflow....

erm... a single 9800GX2 has built in SLi. so am i considered qualified?

To me, Quad SLi is a waste of money bcos of the drivers.... Plus, microstuttering on this card aint a joke.... Most ppl who bought this card in the end changed to GTX280....

quad sli is for crunching data though ................hehe

Wonder if two XFX 8800 GT Aplha Dog Edition with 650Watt PSU enouf power ah???

650W is enough for ur card... Btw what PSU do u use?
