Hey, i recently bought a motherboard  , and i wanted to upgrade my video cards as well. Im currently using 2 Gefoce GTS 250 and i was wondering if my Power Supply: 750W and new motherboard ASUS P7P55D PRO P55 SLI can  handle the GeForce GTX 570, (im too broke to go for the 590) and what should i be looking at when doing it. any input would be apreciated

Well we don't recommend the 590/6990 to anybody its a bad idea.

so you just want to drop one 570 in there? if yes then yes you can do that with your mobo and psu.

Nope, i want to use 2 GeForce GTX 570, i already know the power supply can handle them, i just wanna know if the motherboard will be able to. i notice that those cards use 2 pci-e plus 2 more  slots so it'll fit. thats 5 slots total. so thats what i wanna know if i can use 2 cards on it.

what 750w psu do you have? sli 570 on 750w is not the best idea, depending on the psu. what cpu do you have?

your mobo will give x8/x8 so you are good to go as far as mobo and sli.
