2nd 460GTX MSI Hawk will be arriving today (buying it from my brother in law for $100 bucks).
I have few questions
1) Outside of installation/SLI Bridge, do I need to change any Bios settings on the MB? Or will my MB automatically recognize 2 video cards and change to 8x/8x (I believe it is). Do I need to adjust anything manually?
2) Video Driver - do I need to uninstall/install new driver? Not sure if these is SLI drivers etc. Or will my driver automatically recognize 2 cards and that's it?
3) What kind of video card tests should I run to make sure SLI is working correctly?
4) I might be overclocking when BF3 comes out, what do you guys recommend as far as Video Card Stability software goes?
5) Which Video card do I plug in my monitor? 1st one? Does it matter which DVI port?
and last 6) what kind of performance should I expect. From the research I've done it looks like 2x 460OC beat 1x 580GTX in most games. OCed 460gtx is on par with 470GTX.
Thanks in advance.
