I have a MSI GTX 560 ti Twin Frozr ii 2gig,,, and am looking at buying another 560 ti 2gig card to run SLI,, However, the only Manufacturer that has GTX 560 ti 2gig models is EVGA,,,, MY question is,,,, Can I run SLI with an EVGA and an MSI GTX 560 ti 2gig???????
 
Solution
Yes, card manufactures dont matter with SLI.
Memory should match, if they dont then they will both be limited to the card with the least Vram. Same goes for clock speeds, the faster card will match clock speeds with the slower one.

Solution
Yes, SLI will work.

No, they will not automatically match VRAM of the lowest. In fact, they will not work together with mismatching VRAM, unless you use their Coolbits program to make the card with the higher VRAM match the one with the lower amount.

No, the faster card will not down clock to match the slower card. Instead, the faster card will just end up with lower usage, as it ends up waiting for the slower card to finish its frames. Due to possible microstutter, it would be best to just get matching clock speeds, or under/overclock one card to match the other.

Ok, Thank you guys for the fast responses,,,,, So with an EVGA GTX 560 ti 2gig with a core clock of 822mhz and an MSI GTX 560 ti 2gig with core clock at 880mhz,,, I should be able to run SLI just fine with the EVGA overclocked to 880mhz right????? If so,, Thank you guys sooooo much,,, I was tearing my hair out trying to figure out what to do since Everyone is out of stock of the MSI Twin Frozrs (I know,, cause it's an older card)
 


Yes, that will work, though I'd advise to try and match the clocks with overclocking tools.
