What sort of games are you planning on playing? if it is high end then your gonna need a high end card to go with it, then theres the cpu which will more than likely bottle neck the the card and you will also need to look at the PSU and check wether or not it has enough amps on the +12v rail(s)? Can you give a full detailed lisst of the system ie what cpu, memory, psu etc...

If it is a SLI capable motherboard, you can put another card in it.

Bear in mind said card needs to be identical, right down to firmware, manufacturer/brand, die size, etc.  Your PSU would need to be up to snuff as well.

For a 9800, SLI would be a waste IMHO.  Could go out and buy a cheap 600 series card and have 10x the performance of 2 9800's.  Even 2 9800's would not do well at higher resolutions and settings with those games you mentioned, they are 4+ year old graphics cards.

That is not true as long as its the same gpu and memroy size it does not matter what brand it is just as long as its the same card. I ran 2 8800gt's in SLI one card was zotac and the other BFG and worked brilliantly.

Hi
I can see your point, it is a almost 5 years old Card i have found out, i thought it was newer, so it will just be better to buy 1 newer/better instead

Its all good saying you will get a new card but you need to check that your psu can handle it, make sure you have enough amps on the +12v rail(s), does the case have good airflow etc.....? The last thing you want are heat problems.
