quick question about 9800 gx2. Do i need a SLI mobo only for this?

[Apocalypse23]

Just a quick thought i had, I have a p35 mobo, but will i be able to run one 9800 gx2 with maximum capabilitY? I do not have a SLI motherboard and was just doublechecking since the 9800 GX2 is essentially an SLI'd card.

Thanks

the entire point of the GX2 is that you don't need an SLI mobo to run one.

People with an SLI mobo would be better off buying two 8800GTS 512 and running them in SLI anyway.



So yes, it'll work properly in your p35. But it's probably not worth the premium over your current 8800GTS 512. Especially not with newer, better single-GPU tech around the corner.
