We never tested any SLI configurations on this model. The XPS 8900 has one blue PCIe x16 slot for video card. The black PCIe x16 slot is too far from the blue one to use any SLI bridges. Plus the 460w power supply would not support SLI.

You can't do a SLI setup on this board plus stock case. As Chris said the other slot is way too far. Also there will be no space for the other GPU car down there because of the wires sticking out from the other ports (19,18). Unless you change your case and not use port 18,19 and find a way to get a SLI cable to work on the cards I do not see any way to make it work.
