I already have a 9800GT and I'm planning to get a GT430 they both are capable of SLI but how much will it cost to SLI them?|||Yeah, The only way you can run SLI is to buy another 9800GT.
Nvidia doesn't offer SLI for a low end card like the GT 430.
Yes... The GPU chip has to be the same.
The 9800GT was considered to be a good card 3 years ago. Now, it's performance level can be found in a sub $100 card. Adding a second card for SLI would give you a 20%-50% performance boost. That wouldn't be enough to run the new games at the highest settings.
A new card like the Radeon 6850, 6870 or GTX 560 would destroy a single 9800GT and it would beat 2 of them in SLI.|||You would have to get another 9800 GT for SLI. Also, you will need an SLI bridge. Also, you would need 500w power supply to be sure you have enough power.
The GT 430 is NOT SLI capable. Also, you have to get a card with the same GPU processor and same amount of RAM.
You would be much better off looking for a used GTX 275, 280 on craigslist..
EVGA does sell remanufactured video cards on their website.
There are some instances where you can run 2 cards in SLI that don't have the same name. You can run a 9800 GTX+ in SLI with a GTS 250 and you can run a 192core GTX 260 in SLI with a 216 core GTX 260. The cards will need the same amount of RAM.|||Unfortunately, you cannot run both those cards in SLI. They have to be the same GPU to work in Scalable Link Interface (SLI) configuration.
