Hi,

Curently got a ASUS NVIDIA 8800GT card on a ASUS M2NSLI Deluxe Mobo. I want to add a second 8800GT card, problem is the heatsink and fan on the ASUS 8800 is huge and blocks the 2nd PCIe graphics slot. Anyone know of a low profile 8800GT card that I can put in the upper slot?

Cheers

I assume this is the video card you have

And this is your motherboard

The 2 PCI-E slots (blue and black) are 3 slots away from each other so even with the height of the cooler on the Asus card you should be fine but you won't have use of the PCI-E 1x or PCI slots.
