Note that the motherboard tray is not removable.

@TheHaiza Actually, the GTX 260 will most likely be a bit faster.

[HostileDonut]

@TheHaiza Probably about the same.

[TheHaiza]

I have one of these cards on order (second hand but BNIB and cheap), I will be using it with a Corsair HX620W PSU, the card uses a 6+8pin leads, the Corsair PSU only comes with 2x6pin leads, so what I do?, just get a 6+2pin lead or adaptor. Does the 6+2pin adaptor work as well as a dedicated 8-pin lead and why do they use the extra 2 pins, what do they do, I think I heard they are ground wires??, what are they for, is it because of the extra power of the card being an X2. Any help please thanks

just watched the blooper video, no mistakes sound odd.

@uphill248 Getting more ram isn't always going to help performance, Also when you link 2 cards its not like 2gb+2gb= 4gb, it doubles the bus performance so for example lets say you have a 128bit bus on each card then in theory you would have 2x 128 bit busses (256 bit performance). If your running a 5970 you really don't need anything else. Theres nothing that needs more power.

@uphill248 Get 2,You will not get a better picture,as in resolution.but you'll get more frames a second.Resulting in smoother gameplay

And you'll need a Crossfire Motherboard.And you'll need a fast processor and RAM for the videocard(S) to be effective.
