Hello I have a BFG 6800 GT, and I realize that this card has an HSI bridge chip allowing it to work with a PCI-ex motherboard, however will this (AGP) version of the card also still let me add another card and go into SLI mode with a dual PCI-ex x16 motherboard?

I saw some pictures of the PCI-express version of this card that had the SLI connector on the top and I do not see such a connecter on my version of the card ? any input would be appreciated.

Even if it was theoretically possible, there is no motherboard in existence that has 2 AGP ports, and there's no way in hell they're going to make a PCI version of the 6800GT 😱

The other alternative of having the AGP card and a PCI-E one linked together will also be scuppered, as no PCI-E boards have a <i>proper</i> AGP port.

besides...
I do not see such a connecter on my version of the card ?
<i>kinda</i> answers your own question... ya know?
