Double SLI video card question ..?

[Skylinx]

Ok, so what im doing is getting i7, EVGA x58, all this gaming gear.
And two 9800 GT cards.
The guy at tiger direct told me they both gotta be 9800 GT to work in SLI, but any brand is fine (BFG, XFX, EVGA)

If I connect double SLI, do I install two seperate drivers? or ..
Im not sure exactly how SLI works .
someone help?

1. You Physically put both cards on your motherboard.
2. You Connect the power requirements to the video cards.
3. You connect the SLI bridge link from one card to the other.
4. You start up your computer.
5. If you have drivers installed already, it will most likely be auto detected. If not, Welcome to NVIDIA - World Leader in Visual Computing Technologies.
6. To start using SLI, you will need to go into nVCP and go into the SLI section and enable it.

you should get a crossfire board and get two 4870's.

ATI is very good, don't try shit. Just look at the HD Series.

You're trying to convince an 'nvidia fanboy' that ATI is good. D:

Oh, and I do have an ATI card... One of the HD series at that... and its gay.
