Can I use SLI with an MSI Nvidia GTX 980 + an EVGA Nvdia GTX 980

Cameron_Hope · Feb 16, 2015

According to the Nvidia website you can use SLI with two or more different brands of graphics cards as long as they have the same GPU.
Apparently 'An EVGA GTX480 FTW Edition is simply a GTX480 in terms of SLI'

I would like to make sure that I would be able to use an MSI GTX 980 4GB and an EVGA GTX 980 4GB in SLI.

I currently have an MSI Z97-G55 (SLI capable motherboard) and an MSI GTX 980.

Thanks in advance

As long as they are the exact same GPU chpset then the particular vendor makes no difference. Just be sure to use the nVidia drivers for both cards versus the ones provided by each vendor or your cards will fight each other.

Thanks hedwar2011

I have another question, would using the different vendors make a difference in performance than using the same vendor?

Cameron_Hope :

That depends on if the vendor custom tweaks the different aspects of each individual card. Compare the specs of both cards from each of the vendors websites I've included below for more info:
