So I have two different EVGA GTX 770's (2773 and 2776) I got them both for a very good price, the 2773 is new and the 2776 has about 2 months on it. I know the 2776 is overclocked and has the dual bios but the 2773 is not overclocked and obviously doesn't have the dual bios. My question is what will happen when I SLI these two cards?

I know the 2776 will under clock unless I overclock the 2773 to mach it but does anyone believe this will even be of a noticeable difference, whether I overclock it or not to match? Also what function will the dual BIOS have when the two cards are SLI'd together. I'm not educated on the dual BIOS so I probably won't even mess with it regardless of the cards being SLI'd but an explanation would be very appreciated.

Thanks

It looks like you answered your own questions already :) Asking what I would do with those cards in SLI, leave the BIOS on factory settings, don't OC the slower card, just plug em in and let the other slow down a bit.

That would use less power and produce less heat to deal with, your going to get great performance from SLI so no real need to have them both OCed. That would make them last longer also, less stress on the cores. Just my thoughts....
