Hello, I'm looking to upgrade my computer with another Gpu but the one I have isn't carried anymore its a evga 650ti superclocked boost edition. I was wondering If i could sli link that card with maybe a regular 650, or if i could, sli link it with a 670

Thanks!

No, it has to be the exact same model.

Not exactly, for example you can sli 670 with 770. It just depends if you know the rebrands of each card.

Also, keep this in mind you have to have the same amount of VRAM (ex. 4GB GTX 670 and 4GB GTX 770).

hope this helps.

So my gpu is a 650ti with 2gb could I run a 660 with 2gb, or could I run my 650ti with 2gb and a regular 650ti with 2gb

Some misinformation here.

*You can ONLY SLI graphics cards that have the same GPU. You can't pair a GTX770 with a GTX680. No.

You CAN:
1) Use different frequency (not recommended, such as 900MHz vs 1050MHz for each card)
2) Use different VRAM amounts (4GB and 2GB; though you'd default to the lowest and only use half the 4GB amount)
3) Use different model (i.e. Asus GTX770, and MSI GTX770)

*If you can't find another model to SLI then I recommend you SELL it and buy one of the new GTX8xx cards when they are released (GTX860, 870, or 880. The GTX880 would likely be $500 so the GTX860 may be $300 to $350 though it may be even cheaper.)

The GTX880 is estimated so far to be about 50% more powerful than a GTX770. Also, we can get an Asus GTX770 for $300 now so unless there's a new Maxwell that is a better VALUE, if this is your budget, just get the Asus GTX770.
