SLI compatability w/BFG 8600 GTR OC 256

[jsw043]

Are there any options to adding onto the existing BFG 8600 GTS OC 256?

Can't you find another of the BFG?

They are available, but are ridiculously overpriced!

Considering you can an 8800GT or 8800GTS for about the same price, which beats the 8600gts in SLI:

I would say sell the 8600gts, use it in another computer, but upgrade to an 8800GT/GTS or a higher end card, as it will give you much better price performance than SLI 8600gts.

Using identical cards seems to be the basic beginning for success
