it should be noted in Device Manager in Control Panel that you have to graphic cards installed, otherwise run some benchmarks in extremely high resolution (1600x1200) and compare the results on hardware sites.

Also you should clearly see if both cards are working in the Detonator Drivers.

Be carefull, games are addictive

Great game, I have already finished it, but you should also definitely check Far Cry, it's one of the best games in 2004.

Bye

What kind of card did you get ?
Something by nVidia obviously. But 128mb per card isn't much.

BTW, what kind of power supply unit you got ?

i got two NX6600GT by invidia.

and power supply is Antec, 550 WATT

Since you obviously got the money, why didn't you get two 6800GT's ?

I'm surprised your 550W PSU handles it.
Maybe NX6600GTs arent so much power-hungry though.

I got a AGP 6800 Ultra on a 550 antec.
Runs any game in high settings without any problems.

Interesting to see your AquaMark 3 benches.
