I'm wonderin' if it's possible? I have a 9800 GTX+ right now, and I asked my friend if the 250 was an upgrade and he said it was the same card, and said I could probably SLI them O.o Anyone know?

If only nvidia had a chart like ati does for there crossfire compatibility.
Can't SLI them. With Nvidia cards you can only slave the same card together. Like two 9800GTs or two GTX 275s. ATI, on the other hand, allows you to slave any two cards from the same series. But even if Nvidia was that lenient it wouldn't work, because GTS250 and 9800GTX+ are the same card with different firmware, preventing them from being SLI'd. You can, however,set one up as a dedicated PhysX card.
[QUOTE=ButtsexV2;18583774] You can, however,set one up as a dedicated PhysX card.[/QUOTE] Which isn't going to be worth it. If your 9800 is feeling slow then you need to replace it. A good replacement would be an ATi 5850/5870, power supply and CPU permitting.
It's not, I just saw the 250s on sale on Newegg for Black Friday ;p I have my old 8800 GTS as a PhysX card right now haha. Thanks for the help
People could flash 9800GTs with the 8800GT's firmware and SLI them since they were the same cards. Unless you flash them on the same firmware : You can't.
