I am now ready to build my new computer. I ve desided to go the NForce 4 route but buy one graphics card at a time. However i cant find any Geforce 6800 series graphics cards that have both PCI express and an SLI certification. I would like to buy either a 6800gt or Ultra but just cant find one anywere. Can anyone recomend were I can find some. Also if they cant recomend were to find one then could they please recomend when I might be able to find one? Am I the only person who thinks it ridiculous that the 6800 series has been out for close to a year and they are still insanly hard to come by? Thanks for your help.

SLI is exclusively for PCI Express. If you find one with SLI, it will be PCI Express.

Try looking in the magical land of OZ, I heard all of Nvidia's last shippment was picked up by a twister and flund there.

Seriously though, you're not gonna find one, and if you do you'll pay top dollar. There's a thread in the video forum with availibilyty, try checking that/=.

What resolutions are you planning on playing your games at? What does your monitor support?

V00D00... SLI is exclusively for PCI Express. If you find one with SLI, it will be PCI Express.

Yeah ? No kidding? Not every PCI express card is SLI certified. Iam looking for A card with SLI certification. So if you know were I can find an 6800 with SLI certification then post a reply. Thanks to everyone else for there input. also my monitor right now does not support 1600 by 1200 but I plan on playing World of Warcraft on a new Dell FP2001 at 1600 by 1200.

You phrased it as if you've seen some with SLI cert, but no PCI Express. Wasn't sure if you were a moron or what, clearly you're not.

Pricewatch.com > search with "6800 sli"
Second one I see says "PCI Express SLi Supported."

Pricewatch indexes a lot of places, good idea to check there.

If youre going to play games without AA or AF or at 1280x1024 or less SLi is a waste of money.
