				| I just bought a PNY 9800GT would that be able to play most games well? I will not be playing crysis mostly COD5 and other games weaker than that. |  |

				| Don't 3SLI, on some games it even gives lower prefomance. Stick with max SLI.

				| I use a PNY 9500 GT 512mb and it can run crysis at high settings, it lags, But not as much as I expected o.o 
 I'm pretty sure yours is better (I don't know much about graphics cards)
 
 if COD is easier on the graphics then your card should be fine
 
 Edit : Btw, It was on special for 75$ and it had a 20$ Rebate, But I didn't send the rebate form in time, So I was stuck with the full 75$ instead of 55$

				| 2-way sli works fine, 9500GT can't handle crysis on high well. 9800GT overclocked will.
 I tried my old computer for just 3days ago, and played crysis @ high with
 no lag. 8800GT was used and its almost the same as 9800GT.

 Let's see.. if it's not 3SLI, but it's still SLI, what's left?
 By the way, he means two cards.

 Because they are almost the exact same thing.
 They have nearly the same benchmarks.

 yeah the only thing is that the 9800gt is cooler but why spend a couple bucks more?

 Because by common sense, a card with a 9 at the front instead of an 8 should be more powerful, most people don't read up enough to know this
