kingdingeling Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 SLI'ing two 8500GTs will be like using one 8600GT. Ok, that was a wee bit exaggerated, however it's really not worth it! If you want to upgrade your video card(s), buy a single 8800GT(S) and call it a day! As for overclocking, read the Overclocking FAQ posted in the overclocking section by Verran, that should help you out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghot Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 my bad , I mean't 8800GT's (the 512mb ones) anyways what i wanna know is if any1 has similar board and CPU and has OC'd it I've heard that on GOOD air cooling 3ghz to 3.2ghz is possible outta this chip. The board apparently is an overclockers board also. Ill be using the ASUS 1603 BIOS (which I havent even seen yet Parts arrive tomorrow!! I want it running fast as possible...without voiding warranty or shortening lifespan of components. The AMD 5000 (black edition) is supposed to do this.
