Hi guys,

When I use riva tuner, it seems that the program sees my card as 9800gx2 but seems it shows only 512 MB of ram and only 256 bits bandwith.

Is it normal?

How do you overclock bot cores on a 9800gx2 card?

I believe you have to enable sli on the card manually to get full function.

Click to expand...

So it isnt like the 7950GX2 which had to have SLI enabled in Control panel....I didn't know for sure, but I figured it would be the same!
