I lost one of my GTS 450's a couple weeks ago and RMA'd it to EVGA. I work with a guy over the phone and had a pleseant experience with them. Determined it was indeed a bad card and still under warranty.

So in about two weeks I get my replacement card. Its not what I sent them, its a better card a GTX 550TI Thats cool a free upgrade right...well I had two 450's running SLI and now with this 550 I can no longer run SLI. It is recognized and used in my system as a Physic card, although I dont know what the advatage to that is over SLI.

SO they will recitfiy my problem by paying for free return shipping and sending me back the GTS450 so I can run SLI.

OK with all that said, heres me delema. I am in the proccess of building a new rig. I was planing on buying a new 660TI card to run as a stand alone with one of the 450's as a physics card.

Should I keep this GTX550TI to save as my physicX with my new rig? I seem to be able to play all my current games OK without the SLI anyway. Will the GTX550TI work well with the GTX660TI as a physics card and add some bennifit? The reason I asked is becasue I am building a new rig, but my current system will remain in use and not sure if I should get the SLI option back.
