Amen, brother! Until they come up with something that's a drastic improvement over SLI and Crossfire it's single-GPU FTW. Only exception is when you need super-high resolutions.

Same here, for gaming I only use a single GPU! Can't see the point in using two cards that won't give double the performance.

However, my works PC has dual 768MB 8800GTX's because of the real time rendering that's needed. Sadly though, I'm not allowed to install on-line games on it.

Well I have a 8800 gtx now and run at 1920x1200. The only game that gives me (tiny) slowdown at max settings is Fear

. Even Quake 4 runs at a rock solid 60 (well, when all the data is loaded to the hd).

In fact I think I only have 1 gig of ram in this machine and the processor is only your basic e6400 core 2 duo (Only got this over the e6300 for having the same name as the pc6400 ram. Yes I'm stupid

). No over-clock or anything (don't believe in the black arts anymore ^_^).
So even on this spec the card just burns through everything. With this kinda' power, who the hell needs sli?

Yes, yes. There are more than a few experienced techs around this forum. Even when you suspect that a piece of hardware is damaged it's still necessary to run tests to make sure. It's nice when your first guess is right, though.
