Hi, I'm currently running with a GPU of the the following model: Gigabyte GV-N670OC-2GD , which is running great, however I've been thinking about adding an additional card. Ideally I'd get another card of the exact same make and model, but the problem is is that nobody appears to be selling it anymore. I know that with NVidia card's you need to have the same chipset and memory but I thought I'd make doubly sure with the experts that the two are compatible.

Can I use 2-way SLI with a Gigabyte GV-N670OC-2GD and a EVGA NVIDIA GTX 670 FTW Signature Edition 2GB

Thanks very much for the help, I really do appreciate it :)

You should be able to, I've heard you can as long as they are the exact same gpu. Even if one is oced and one is not you can aswell.

Yes those cards will SLI. But your current setup doesn't support them. You will need a new power supply and motherboard. 600w isn't enough for 2 670's and the GA-Z87-HD3 doesn't support SLI.

Thanks for the quick responses guys. I did consider the psu being a bit low but as the mobo has got crossfire compatible written on it I (foolishly) figured it was SLI compatible too >.<
