Customer rating: 3 out of 5 stars Running on SLI

I currently have 2 of these cards in my system running in SLI mode. They run fine on a 450w PSU. But i would advise anyone thinking of purchasing 2 of these to run in SLI to think again. Their simply is not enough of a gain, it will play pretty much anything but no different than just having 1. Better purchasing a 8800 GT model, would work much better than these 2 in SLI. Mine are also about 6 months old so are differnet looking to the 1 pictured but will fit no prob on an SLI ready motherboard. Hope this is of help.

Hi,

Is this small enough to allow 2 of them in dual pci-e? i noticed a few ppl mention they were quite big. I wanted to run to of them so as long as there is enough space and it dont use more than 500w of power for both im ok. i might need to get a new psu though anyway
