x-FI WITH 2 8800GT cards

Post by CesarePlay »

I can't really find anything using google so I want to know if I bought 2 x 8800GT cards to use in sli mode can I still use my X-Fi sound card? I know I could not with 2 8800GTX but what about this graphic card? I have a p5n32e sli plus motherboard.

Would you have a spare slot that wont get in the way of the Gcards?

8800GTs are single slot, so I'm guessing yes.

Yeah Cesare, 2 x 8800GT's will fit fine.

The problem is that GTX's are dual slot so they block certain slots :(

One question. What size power supply will I need to have 2 of these card (8800GT)s? I know it needs a 6pin connector.

I found out it needs at least 600watt so I have to get a new power supply as well. :(
