If I choose to install two NVidia graphics cards in my system, must they both be the same model cards or can I use two different NVidia cards?

they say you could hook up two cards that are different but they have to be like both G71 or G80, and the higher end card underclocks to the slow card speed and disables part of itself to run together, but im not sure about this

if you want to run them together to push to just one screen, the same. if you want to run multiple screens, it doesn't matter

exactly what he said. on my system im running both an 8800gts and 7300le on the two pci-e ports, which enables me to run 3 or 4 monitors at a time(running 3 right now).
