So a friend and I are dong a budget build together. And when I say budget I mean budget. using all spare parts the only thing I have had to buy is a gpu. I found a good deal on some 260's and so I decided to sli. The problem I have is when the second one came in the mail, it was physically smaller, has only one SLI port (other card has two), and only has one 6 pin connector (the other has two). I know the first one is an EVGA, but the only manufacturer info I have on the second is that it was made in china (sticker on the back says so).
I installed each one seperately onto my main rig and they both work, but when I installed the second one i had to reboot the computer before the drivers would work from the previous card. I don't have a way to test the sli prior to the build, and if I need to pick up a different one before then I'd like to know. Any reason to think these two cards wont work in SLI?
