Hello!
I have one Nvidia 8600 card and am currently running a dual-screen display, but how would i run 2 graphics cards at the same time. Like that thing where you can use two hard drives that work together to perform a task. How would you do that for graphics cards? Windows PC

It has 2 x PCI-E (x16) slots, one for each of the Nvidia graphics cards. You then connect the 2 cards together with a custom clip that fits onto the top leading edge (the edge of the cards furthest away from the motherboard).

You would then enable SLi within the BIOS and you're set to go on the next boot.

Within the SLi configuration, each graphics card would drive 50% of the (each) viewable screen. Any gain in graphics output is likely to be an improvement of around 30 - 40% of that achieved by a single card.
