Can I SLI two different graphics cards?

I have an Nvidia 7600 gtx graphics card.





Do I have to use another Nvidia 7600 if I want to use the SLI feature? Or could I use a more powerful card?

Can I SLI two different graphics cards?
hi mate


no,you need to use 2 of the same type of card,for example your current card the 7600gt(there isnt a 7600gtx)you need to get another 7600gt,it can be made by another manufacturer but it has to be the same card


in terms of performance you should get around 50% better performance than using a single card,however this also depends on two other factors,your memory(ram) and of course the processor


another option is using the nvidia geforce 7950GX2,this is basically a sli unit built into one card,which means when using two of these its effectively quad graphics


im not sure if nvidia have drivers for a quad configuration,and even if they do its a pretty technical procedure and shouldnt be undertaken by novices


for more information take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Li...


good luck mate !
Reply:No, has to be the same kind of card, cant mix and match the GPU with SLI.
Reply:Always same GPU even if different brand or speed.
