I am buying a new desktop and I am wondering if more than 1 video card would be necessary. I am getting the NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT 1GB 16X PCI Express|||First off, you need an SLI mobo and a decent power supply. With that out of the way, SLI is only necessary if you're a hardcore gamer. Having dual GPU's gives he computer more power, so you can play at higher resolutions with decent FPS. However, if you're gaming, and you play FPS's a lot, then don't. If you ever watch pro players, they always best all the settings on low so that the head gets bigger since there are less pixels. If you're going to be video editing, or picture editing, then two cards is worth it. Apps like PhotoShop need good graphics. But, if you have the money, do it. It will only make your computer last longer.|||No, unless, it can be bridged with another video card, and having two bridged memory cards is really only necessary if you are going to be doing a lot of hard-core gaming or heavy HD-video editing or Blu-Ray watching. The only bonus is added video memory through the bridge, if they're bridged, which you wont need anyways if you're getting a 1GB graphics board.|||you're fine with one videocard.. actually ram has a lot to do with it too.. if you want it for gaming, the card you got is very good, just get 4gb of ram and you're good :)
actually the only game i found 2 videocards to be useful with and make a difference was flight simulator x on highest settings.|||
Keep in mind that your logic board has to support SLI. More memory in the graphics department my friend;... well there is nothing wrong with that at all!!! Two cards working together your going to find that the games you play are just going to look amazing.. However see if your logic board supports it first, if not well your SOL |||
No its not necessary, its a marketing gimmick.|||With that card, not really. If you want two, build your own comp.|||only if you NEED to use two or more monitors.
