So yesterday best buy was so nice and gave me 2 GTX 260's to replace my 8800GT's that died on me. Actually one died, in the bottom slot, memory issue.
So I install both of the cards and have a little bit of a rough start I got boot code 5d on my mobo, which is a general I/O error typically when there isn't a video card in the top slot.
Simple enough I fiddle with the card a little and get it to boot, run a few benchmarks to see where it stacks up and.. 13k 3dmark06 I actually just got a better score of just under 14k with a single card.
The reason for only running with 1 card? I reset my computer and got the same error code again. So does 3dmark06 not scale well with SLI, like at all? it's been so long since I had one 8800GT that I don't remember how much the 2nd helped I know that it's fairly cpu limited tho.
What do you guys think? Did I get a bad card?
repost from the video forums because there wasn't any response there.
