First of all hi everybody.I'm writing from Italy.I've bought a 6800gto from the usa and now i'm thinking about setup a second one in a sli configuration.What i want to know , since i've not found any review or test or info on the internet, is if somebody here got a SLI 6800gto configuration, which are the results, which are the problems and some tips and trick to optimize the configurationa...and overall...if it is worth to do a 6800gto sli setup.Thanks again.

ps.:excuse me for my poor english, i'm just learning it by myself, hope you can understand me :D

thanks again

I have a dual 6800GTO rig but can't get it to work in SLI.
I chech the box "Enable SLI multi-GPU".
I get "Your displays, which are attached to your secondary graphics card, will appear blank when SLI is enabled. This is because your secondary graphics card will accelerate your primary card. Connect your display to the primary graphics card when your system restarts."
Then when I click OK the box becomes unchecked!!!

Uh...maybe follow the directions on the screen. Disconnect your monitor from the one card and connect it to the other.

I guess I should have mentioned the obvious, I've tried all 4 connectors (two on each card). The only one that is "live" is the #1 connector of the main card (first card BIOS boots). Having connecteded it to that I get the above message.
