Has anyone mixed brands for SLI?

vegasgmc · May 10, 2008

I want to get another card but Tigerdirect is the only place that still sells my card and they want $220 for it. Thats $20 more than I paid originally. Does SLI still need both cards to be the same brand? I tried mixing 7900GTs a few years ago and it was a bust. There are some really good deals on 256mb 8800GTs now. Thanks

I believe it will work, I think they only need to share the same chip set in order to use SLi. You do mean like an EVGA with a BFG for example?

How about buying from newegg, it will be cheaper and you will be able to get the identical card.

This is prob the one you have but the memory clock is faster, I can't find a 650/1800 T_T
