Switching in and out of SLI is very easy. I do it pretty much every day. You can do it through software now without touching the bios.

And I believe you need two identical video cards to take advantage of SLI. Also, you will need top of the line cards to run an FPS at 2560x1600.

Yes and yes.

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]

EDIT: I said BIOS - I know they switch in software, but need reboot - to me, that is a BIOS switch.

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]
