[Zack_Wylde]

but if the mobo only has 1 x16? cayou you run 1 x16 and 1 x1?

Whats the point of that... ull get 1/16th of the cards power out of it.

 

[MikeReiner]

I don't think so. to use SLi you need to have 2 x16 slots.

 

[The Amish Kid]

Have you ver seen a pci-e 1x slot? its like this long ---------------. So in answering your question. No. You have to have a nforce 4 sli motherboard that has two pci-e slots. Most have two pci-e 8x, although newer ones have two x16 ones.

Well, NVIDIA didn't win this time. The 7900GTX, really is just a 7800GTX 512MB just overclcoked a little bit. It loses in nearly every benchmark, so ATI is still the Top Dawg when it comes to video cards. When will NVIDIA grasp the fact that pixel shader processors is what you need, not pixel pipelines.

Oh well, ATI still beats NVIDIA's top cards with 8 less pipelines, and even lower clock speeds. Not to mention the X1800GTO just came out. All of NVIDIA's new cards lose to ATI. Oh well, better luck next time.
