Raymus because your Gigabyte Mother board has 2 PCI Express slots. You might think that you might be able to run two video Cards in CrossFire or SLI configurations but you can not because one slot is PCI Express x16 slot (PCIEX16) and one slot is PCI Express x16 slot, running at x4 (PCIEX4) even though the cards will fit in both slots and there is no problem with cooling because of the spacing. The difference between PCIEX16 and PCIEX4 will not allow dual video cards.
Both slots would have to be PCIEX16 based on all that I have read. If at some point you decide to upgrade the Motherboard, and use the same video card that you have just purchased and add a second card of the same type. Look for a mother board that has the same PCIEX spacing as your current mother board but make sure both are PCIEX16. You will also need to get the SLI wide connector from Nvidia check their web site.
