Graphics cards, can they work together?

I have a 6600 Graphics card right now. If i where to get a 8200 of the same brand, would the two cards work together?

Graphics cards, can they work together?
They need to be two IDENTICAL cards.. like 8800gt and 8800gt.. etc. If you had two different cards then it would be buggy or not work at all.
Reply:it could work, but i wouldn't try it. an 8200 isn't that great of a card but here are two that are and are cheap. just try one of these geforces. all you would ever need is one card unless you're doing some hardcore gaming.

Reply:not in SLI, but you could use the 8200 for more graphic intensive stuff like movies or low end games. You can set them separate for mutli-monitor use. Other than that, you can't use 2 different cards if you want SLI
Reply:No. in order to run cards in a sli configuration, they have to be the same, and both cards need to be sli supported.
Reply:Yes but eventually the greater one will cancel/try to cancel the other one out. But for a while it will work.
Reply:If installed at the same time. They could drive 2 seperate monitors yes. If thats what your asking.
Reply:No, the 8200 would oust the 6600.
