OK!!!! my question.....the gpu's 8800GTs, 8800GTS, 9600GTs, 9800GTX (SSC)..ect...ect...... im wondering is their any "hassle" to run in SLI, also, ALL the EVGA's have great reviews and ratings and awards and what-not on Newegg. So, my question is this. With the setup that I have, which EVGA video card/cards should I get? I don't want any "this is cheaper" stuff, I can spend like...~400/500 on 1, or on 2... Im looking for highest FPS...Ive read bunches of reviews and am going in circles. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You.
Also, im not interested in products coming out in like a month or 2.
