Can i combine two different graphics cards in the same system?

i have just purchased a BFG 8800 GTS graphics card, and i have now found a realy cheap BFG 8800 GTX OC2- can i join them in the same system or do they have to be the same card

Can i combine two different graphics cards in the same system?
Cards have to be the same archictecture in order to work in SLI, and generally from the same manufacturer as well. I believe you can get a 8800 GTS 512 to work with a 8800 GT 512, but it is rather inefficient unless they're identical.





The 8800 GTX however is an entirely different GPU, and won't work with a GTS at all.
Reply:no, they have to be the same model/chipset. You would need 2 identical gts models (keep in mind that there are officially 2 different reference builds...1 uses the g80 chipset and the newer one uses g92) The gts models with 640mb ram are using the g80 chipset and can be paired together...while the g92 models come with 512mb and can be paired. For the gtx, you would need 2 gtx models since they are all on the g80 chipset.
Reply:You can only join 2 similar card in a SLI configuration for NVIDIA or Crossfire for ATI


Prerequisite the 2 Cards must be identical


the mobo shld have 2 PCI-E slots SLI capable
