Hey,

I just got a second gpu (9600 gt) and put in it sli. However when i played crysis warhead i didnt notice any difference in the fps. Originally when i had only one 9600 gt i was getting 19 fps in Enthusiast at 1680x1050 and im still getting about the same with two 9600 gt cards. I have enabled sli in the nvidia control and i even tried to see if the sli worked in 3dmark06 and there was a massive difference from when i had one. So could anyone please tell me why this is, my second though was that my ram is a bottleneck for the pc.

my specs:

E6850 core 2 duo 3.0ghz @3.3ghz

2 Gig ram @88oMHz

Asus P5N-E SLI

2 x asus 9600 gt

Windows XP SP3

Any help would be awesome, thank you!

SLI bridge is on? And you also have to put that little red card up.
