Hi there, I'm looking at adding a second graphics card to my PC so I can connect my TV up. Currently my setup is:

MSI K9N Neo-F nForce 550
BFG 3DFuzion GeForce 7600 GT
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 3800+

My motherboard has 1 PCI Express x16 interface and 2 PCI Express x1 connection, so I was wondering if it's worth getting another 7600GT and setting them up to use SLI, although I don't know if there is anything else thats better for a similar price (~£60)?

Presumably the second card would be slower as I only have 1 PCI-E x16 slot?

Or I was considering just buying a new card with 2 DVI outputs, but can't decide what to do.

Thanks :)
 
You cant run the second card in the 1x slot m8. you need two full lenth slot's for sli.
I would sell the 7600gt and get a faster card.
 
Thanks for the reply, glad I stopped to ask.

Will probably replace it with the card you mentioned.

Thanks again :)
