SLI mb which 6800 to use!

[Ruckas]

I was just curious if any of you ladies and or gentlemen have gotten to play with an SLI motherboard? I'm wondering which 6800 to go with, so later on down the road I can add one. I want the one that's going to overclock the most. So if anyone has any findings, I would love it if you would share with the rest of us eager computer geeks! 🙂

ummm....maybe the BFG 6800GT oc? Chumbo had em for a while at $400.

I havent gotten a chance to use one, but they should work good.

Why would you want to OC an SLI rig? You must be far wealthier than the rig in your signature suggests, I'd never risk two high end cards that are already way cpu limited for a couple possible 3dmarks?

^^Agreed...but he probably just wants to OC the first one for now, then when he gets the second one leave them at stock settings...

yeah, I recently got a really nice job. So I've been buying all the fancy stuff my poor broke pathetic self couldn't afford before. So I want to go really big. And you were right on the money yezhou. I want to over clock the single 6800, then add one when this rig becomes abosolete.. Hard to believe something that spiffy will go to crap so quickly...

So, anyone have any suggestions? I mean there isn't that much to chose from right now. For some reason the Vid Card gods are slackin, they need to spit out more PCI-E toys for us to play with!

are all 6800 sli-able ? I mean I see some 6800 not gt or ultra with the sli interface on top, does that mean its sli-able ?

All PCI-E 6800s should be SLI-able.

but i see some of them does not have the sli connector on top..

 

[BenSkywalker]

Which of the PCI-E 6800s have you seen without the SLI connector?

i think a while back on the nvidia site (sli) it said that only 6800ultras, 6800gts, and 6600gts would be SLI-able, but now they say that 6800NONgt/ultra are also sli-able . . .
