There are many PSU's that are supposedly "SLI certified" by nVidia. Does that mean that I cannot safely run SLI if I don't have a PSU that is SLI certified?
Here's my deal.. I have a 7800GTX and an MSI K8N Neo4 mobo, both of which I haven't installed yet. I keep hearing that even though I don't need to run SLI because this video card is amazing as it is, I should still "future proof" my setup by installing an SLI mobo. I have an Ultra X-Connect PSU and am wondering that if I decide to go with an SLI mobo for future upgrading, do I need to buy a new PSU that supports SLI or is it more of just a marketing thing? I was looking at Ultra's X-Finity PSU if I had to get a new one to support SLI.
**Sorry in advance to anyone that is going to tell me that this is a redundant post and I need to run a search and that there have been 100 posts with this same topic in the past. I ran a search of recent posts and from just browsing over the titles from the last week or so I didn't see anything relating to this.
