I have an Nvidia 7600 gtx graphics card.
Do I have to use another Nvidia 7600 if I want to use the SLI feature? Or could I use a more powerful card?

hi mate
no,you need to use 2 of the same type of card,for example your current card the 7600gt(there isnt a 7600gtx)you need to get another 7600gt,it can be made by another manufacturer but it has to be the same card
in terms of performance you should get around 50% better performance than using a single card,however this also depends on two other factors,your memory(ram) and of course the processor
another option is using the nvidia geforce 7950GX2,this is basically a sli unit built into one card,which means when using two of these its effectively quad graphics
im not sure if nvidia have drivers for a quad configuration,and even if they do its a pretty technical procedure and shouldnt be undertaken by novices
for more information take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Link_Interface
good luck mate !

This is not possible. SLI requires you to have the same graphics card.

No. if has to be the same card and preferably the same make e.g both XFX 7600 cards

No, has to be the same kind of card, cant mix and match the GPU with SLI.

Always same GPU even if different brand or speed.
