Which video cards should I sli?
I have the choice of two "nvidia 9800 GT 1gb" two "nvidia 9800 GTX 512mb" or two "nvidia 9800 GTX+ 512mb" Please explain to me the difference in graphics power, price isn't a huge factor or difference. the 1GB GT cards are the cheapest, and the GTX is about 50 dollars more, and then the two GTX+ are 30 dollars more than that. I don't need websites, i have spent the the last 3 weeks researching, but I feel I need a gamers opinion versus a web site's review. Thanks!

GT is 9 inches long, GTX or GTX+ or 2XX series, which are 10.5 inches.
I'd go with the 9800 GTX+ SSC Edition (supersuperclock)

Check for rebates or extras that might bring down the price

The GT probably uses DDR3 RAM.
The GTX probably uses DDR5 RAM which is faster than DDR3 RAM.
The GTX+ probably uses DDR5 RAM also, but probably faster speed DDR5 RAM than the GTX uses.
In most cases you get what you pay for. The GTX+ will outperform the GTX and the GTX will outperform the GT card. DDR5 RAM is much faster than DDR3 RAM, even if you only have 1/2 of the amount.

If price isn't a factor, why not get a top of the line card?
Anyway, the 9800GTX+ in SLI would be the best, it has a higher clock speed, memory clock, and shader clock than the rest.
Instead of those card you should crossfire 2 4850's from ATI. They are the best cards in that price range right know.
Also, Nvidia cards do NOT have DDR5 memory, only ATI cards do.
