(PowerCooler 550w (REAL w) ) 5) Will it be comparable to ... let's say ... a GTX 260 in performance? 6) I managed to make Crysis run at "high" (with Ultra Config 1.3 tweak) at 25 FPS Average (according to Crysis benchmark) (that, taking into consideration all the info I read about my card before, this is quite impressive). Can I somehow make it run at 30 FPS average (without overclocking my card to the limit ) ? 7) Final question: is it worth it? or should I wait to buy a DX 11 card in the future?. thanks people

1. P5K is P35 board so can't do SLI.
2. Yes. They are the same but different mfg have their warranty ans service.
3. Goes to the 386 ram.
4. Haven't used it before. 8800GS is a 95w GPU. With sli scale and what you have, need a psu can do 300w on 12v.
5. 8800GS SLi can't compare with GTX260
6. Don't think so.
7. It is your call because the price is around $50.

Just imagine that the GTX 295 is 850 dollars here, and here we don't have dollars as national money unit, so it would be 4 times that price for me. ... a 8800 gs is 135 dollars (which in real value in my country would be 540 "pesos". Just imagine buying a not so great card for 540 dollars in your country. thankx for the answer. I think I'll wait till DX11 and Windows 7 comes

wow. We are very lucky here.
