NVIDIA graphics cards for N-SIGHT

[Robinson]

Hey guys,

Some of you may or may not know about NVIDIA's NSIGHT - it's a debugging platform for D3D/CUDA/OpenGl and so on. It only works with a dual card setup though.

My question is can anybody recommend a dual SLI setup for NVIDIA cards? Also, will my motherboard support it? I have:

MSI P67A-G45 Intel P67 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard ** B3 REVISION

Finally, does anyone running a dual card setup have trouble with space inside their case? These cards are pretty thick these days! Also, can you get a dual SLI card that's kind of "one" card, that fits into both PCI slots?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

according to the nvidia requirements pages, nsight works on single GPU systems as well, unless you want to use the DIRECT3D SHADER DEBUGGER, which you either need 2 systems with 1 GPU each, or you need a single system with 2 GPU's but also 2 OS's loaded concurrently, but then they have to be Quadro's to do this (I think)

Yea... I noticed that too. What a pain in the ****. Also I'm not sure how you can load two OS's concurrently, unless one's in a VM of course.

for all the software and whatever that you would need to get 2 quadro's working on 1 PC with 2 OS's it would be much cheaper to buy 2 machines and just buy normal graphics cards
