SLI Question

coolerguy1984 · 20-September-06, 04:09 PM

I was wondering if I bought a XFX 7800gt, can i run a BFG 7800gt with it in SLI or does it have to be the exact same card?

It should work. I had a XFX 7800GTX and a BFG 7800 GTX running in SLI.
They even had different Core and memory speeds. However they both
ran at the slower speeds.

Yeah, initially SLi was ridiculously fussy as you basically had to buy two cards with exactly the same GPU steppings, but now you can mix and match because as long as they're the same models it doesn't matter what manufacturers they are.
