>> but the data will come from a connector cable to the main card Sounds like a big waste of bandwidth, especially since it is already a big bottle neck. The whole concept of SLI in its V2 incarnation should be changed IMO. What you need is a way for multiple cards to get and process their data independently while still producing syncronous output. This could be done via drivers and connector cable. I don't see (besides convenience) why the processing load has to be evenly distributed between two cards. Why can't the cards roughly distribute the load based on a mix of their processing power and bandwidth availability? Idealy, I'd like to have 3 monitors connected to 3 graphics cards like I have on my unix work stations, but that's another story. ST
