Hi guys

Wondering if you can help me on this, I just have 2 questions about SLI.

1) Can you link 2 gfx cards that have the same chipset (nvidia 8800 GTS) but from different manufacturers?

2) Is it ok to link 2 gfx cards with the same chipset and same manufacturer but with different onboard memory? ie( 1x 320mb and 1x 512mb)

Thanks

Kev

as far as i know yes to both of your questions i also know that if you have too cards (same chip set) with say different clock speeds or memory the more powerful card will always lower its speed etc. to match the slower card
