need help
i just upgraded from a (i believe) 9280 ATI 128mp card to a GeForce 6200 256mb card. now im getting your card doesnt support GL_EXT_complied_vertex_arrray, GL_ARB_multitexture, GL_ARB_tecture_compression. can someone explain in "lamens" terms how i ficx this? i remember on my ATI it was a simple configuration error on my part with the card settings, but i cant figure it out on this nVidia.

I'd imagine the top card runs hotter because of the smaller space in which it draws it's air ( small pocket in between the back of the bottom card and the air inlet port on the top card ) and the temp of that air going in.
From what i've seen of the GTX 260s and the GTX 280s, the backside of those cards get quite hot.

both cards do not share or have a equal work load. the top card is doing more work in SLI they always do
quite normal

Heat rises, and the main card will do most of the work like outhouse says, the second only comes under high load occassionally.
