im using NVIDIA 9500 GT 1GB and it is GREAT in gaming performance , My question is if i plugged in another 9500 GT 1GB and connected them with eachother using SLI tech in order to make DUAL VIDEO CARD . WILL IT IMPROVE THE GAMING PERFORMANCE . will i be able to play CRYSIS at very high details > with x16 Antialiasing with each game ? will it improve 100% ? i want every details . thnx|||You'd be better off selling that 9500 GT and getting a single GTX 260 instead.
SLi doesn't give you double the performance -- especially not in Crysis. The game itself has to be coded in a way that utilizes multiple GPU's, and even then you're looking at around a 50-60% boost with a second card installed.
What kind of resolutions are you running in your games anyway? The 9500 GT barely runs a decent first person shooter from 2008... let alone Crysis.|||The real question here is the specs on your motherboard and your processor.
You can have SLI enabled, crushing the two most powerful cards out there but if you have a cruddy processor or a motherboard with only 800MHz front side bus you're going to have one heck of a bottleneck.
Can we get more info on your motherboard / processor?
p.s. I crossfire my cards (AMD's version of nVidia's SLI) and it certainly does boost the performance, but its not double what one card does. I've never seen it double it. So instead of spending the money to SLI it all and deal with the headache's of getting it to work (trust me there are a lot of them) I'd just save up and get a better, badder card.|||I am afraid the answer is NO. Most people believe that SLI or CF will give them twice the processing power of the Video Cards and that is wrong, first if you connect 2 Nvidia GPUs in SLI each of the same type (this case 9500 core 550MHz 1GB) you won't have a 2GB 1.1 GHz System, the master card is 550MHz - 1 GB so the entire system will be tied to that specs. Crysis is one of the most demanding games nowadays and even 2 9500's SLI connected won't be able to give you a smooth game play, at least not maxed out. Is not the same to play a game 1280*1024 maxed out than @ 1680* 1050 or higher.
So my best advice for you is: Save until you have the money to buy a better GPU, buying video cards is an investment so be wise on how you spend your money, buy a GPU that will work with Crysis now and the kind of games you want to play in the future.
