possible to use a 770 and a 9800? or would that be all shity?
too diff gpus?

Why would you? The 9800 is so far behind the 770 in performance terms its barely worth the trouble to get them working side by side at all.
alright i guess ill get other 770make sli. or dose it work with 770 and a 780?
Its easier to answer that question once you tell us what you are trying to achive - what game, what multiboxing tool(s), what number of instances and what kind of setup overall (cpu, memory, ...)

Well its WoW 10 accounts.
using isboxer.
CPU
Intel Core i7 3820 @ 3.60GHz - 4.2 ghz
Sandy Bridge-E 32nm Technology
RAM
16,0GB DDR3 @ 831MHz (9-10-9-27)
Motherboard
ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. SABERTOOTH X79 (LGA2011)
Graphics

Philips 221EL (1920x1080@60Hz)
2047MB GeForce GTX 770 (EVGA)
Your 4 cores will limit the card(s) regardless of using a single 770 or some kind of sli setup. The next limit you'll hit before the 770 is to slow is probably video memory.
If memory serves, more video cards won't be your problem, but the way windows handles the resources and it hates multi-monitor setups for some reason. Most of this can be overcome with having the right drivers installed but ever since the Vista days and the Aero desktop, multi-monitor support has been crap. Advances in hardarware has overcome a lot of this by simply brute forcing past the bottlenecks, but it's still there as far as I know.
My work machine runs win7 and has a 7900GTX in it. It will play HD videos just fine on the primary monitor, but if you slide the video over to the second monitor, it just chugs. Even today there are lot of games that simply will not let you run them in full screen on a second monitor.
As it's been said, it's not worth your time to mess around with some GTX 9800 that's over 5 years old at this point; and no, you cannot SLI a GTX 770 and GTX 780 together.
Multi-monitor setups on current generation cards (GTX 4xx and newer) shouldn't be a problem at all. I remember having weird issues while multiboxing with an older Q9550 and some GTX 260s, but it could have easily been the CPU at the time.Originally Posted by Starbuck_Jones
I've used multiple monitors on Windows 7 using a single GPU, multiple GPUs in SLI, and multiple GPUs to split the load of the game clients (although there are limitations to that). Windows 8 is supposed to bring even further improvements to multiple monitor desktops, but I've yet to muster up the courage to make the switch (probably won't until Windows 9).
Maybe, but I remember back when I was working with Dell. There was a fundamental change in the windows architecture and multi-monitor support by moving to a 3D desktop and Aero. XP you could throw in as many video cards as you had slots and hook up 16 monitors and it didn't bat an eye. It was awesome having some of the workstations set up with 9 monitors hooked up to them in a 3x3 array. Along came vista and it just blew up on itself. I did a quick google search and I can see the old articles from as far back as 2004-2005 and even new ones a few months old complaining about system performance just taking a dump once you add a second monitor. Even just a second monitor off the same video card.
Drivers seem to help a lot, but at the core, it's a windows problem. Don't get me wrong, you can do plenty with fine with mulit-monitors and multiple video cards, but it's never been the same since the XP days.
Forgive my possible ignorance, but is it possible to run windows XP? Is wow still compatable? What about ISboxer and all necessary misc software?
