n4mr3h Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 So, it's only nvidia 9000 series and ati 4000 series? Or there are others? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuronin Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Isn't the 9800 GTX+ Extremely power effiecent? (Don't quote me on that) You should try Hybrid SLI out if you want power efficency. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
