So i have never owned or used an SLI system..... is it worth it?

At the moment i have a single 9800GTX+ 512mb and could pick up a second for about £120. I run a 22" monitor 1680 x 1050 ... AA and AF.

List of games so farr:

Half Life 2
Bioshock
Flight Simulator X
Gears Of War
Call of duty 4

Soo to have

GTA4
COD5
FAR CRY 2


Is it worth the extra £120 or do i just stick with my single 9800GTX+?

keep the single card, half life and cod4 with just be a blue flickering screen.

SLi is great but most games have lazy programmers who cant be arsed to make sli worth while.

better off getting the most powerful single card available

^ even when sli is implemented into a game blame the programers or not but the most you ever see is 10-20% increase in frames... not really worth buying the second card...

the only thing sli properly works in is benchmarks....
