A single 8800GTX doesn't fare too bad at that res. - but obv. a pair is much better. Thus my comments on "if it is serious" or whatever I said [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

If some can switch SLI On/Off without reboot - please let me know model names - will be stocking up on these beauties [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
