You can flash the bios, but it's not as simple as it sounds. It really depends on what brand card you have.

It really depends on what brand card you have. Asus. Right now I have a GTX and I could technically oc it since I replaced the stock fan with a better one. I planned to oc it so thats why I bought a different fan for it, but also lot of people were saying that it would get really hot while running full load, around 90c. But with the fan I haven't seen it get over 60c, not even while playing Crysis or UT3. Anyways that's beside the point. I'm not entirely sure if I want to get another card just becuase I don't really need another one yet, but I've noticed couple of fps drops in some of the maps in UT3, but nothing horrible. Anyways I feel that my question has been answered, thanks for the input! Edited February 27, 2008 by Xearo Link to comment https://forums.steam-gamers.net/topic/2610-sli-compatible/#findComment-27069
