    Yes, so you have dual GPU, but for the sli you have to set the nvidia sli bridge and plug in an extra power supply cable.

    Hope this helped :)

    BTW: If you are going to use it, make sure you have 2 identical cards and its ONLY usefull if you use high resolutions, AA , AS etc..

    which doesn't cut it compared to two 7900GTs... while costing about the same..

    two 7600GTs outdop a single 7900GTX
