Is SLI really worth it? I have one card already and i can get a hold of another one with i want without much hassle. I don't want anyone spamming OMFG overpriced or anything, idc, i'm 15 and i get paid $20 an hour. I'm not spoiled i just have a good job. Anyways what are the advantages of having 4 GPU's exactly? lmfao. And yes my computer can take it.

Just depends on the games you plan to play.
Crysis: Warhead? I suggest that you do SLi.

Crysis: Warhead is actually worth it, unlike the first one.

SLi is generally not worth it unless you're gaming at super high resolutions. Going from 2-4GPU's will have even less benefit than going from 1-2.

I would save your money for the next product generation.

It's not worth it, the performance boost isn't good enough equally to the price.

Ok first of all.
There isn't any card called "9800GT2".
Either you have 9800GTX (SINGELCORE) OR 9800GX2 (DUALCORE).
Ok but I think you meant 9800GX2 and if so you shouldn't get one more card, you could even find out that it would give less power then one.
Go with your 9800GX2 much longer and IF you got 9800GTX buy one more. Much more preformance.

Regards Humper

Not sure on which Crossfire mode I use by default, but I've never noticed micro stutter.

I agree though, 2 cards is useful at high resolutions, but beyond that the returns are minimal.

I agree, save up but if you really need the performance boost get dual graphics cards.

What's your budget at the moment?

Idk, i have like 6 flat screens cus my dad used to work for a company in the town i live and they went outa business and i though it would kick ass to hook them all up.
