I currently own an Asus GTX dual 1070 graphics card. I was looking into buying another one to run SLI;however, when I went to go look to order one, there was three different base and boost speeds and I have no idea which one mine was. I know I have to purchase the same card, but do I have to purchase the same speed one as well? If so how do I find out which one mine is? Also, if it helps at all, I ordered from amazon. Thank you so much everyone.

SLI works fine with different clock speeds. Normally it also works fine with different brands/ models but it's a good idea to get the same model to ensure there aren't any weird compatibility issues.

Edit: You might want to just sell your 1070 and put that money towards a 1080 or 1080Ti, as not all games support SLI.

You don't have to have the same speeds and everything, just the same model. So like 2x Zotac 1070s will work just fine, but 1x Zotac 1070 and 1x MSI 1070 might not.

At any rate, you'll use the clocks of the slower one, and only one cards worth of vram.
