SLI Compatibility with NVIDIA 768 meg Graphica cards

[kiwiboy]

Hi,
Hi, I currently have a BFG GeForce 8800GTX OC 768MB SLI HDCP Enabled Dual DVI PCI Express (600MHz Core Clock) (1800MHz Memory Clock) (1400MHz Shader Clock) graphic card .

I need to know if there will be any incompatibilty problems if I buy a BFG GeForce 8800GTX OC2 768MB SLI HDCP Enabled Dual DVI PCI Express (626MHz Core Clock) (2000MHz Memory Clock) (1450MHz Shader Clock) graphic card to run in SLI Mode wiht the top specified one please?

Cheers,
Kiwiboy

Kiwiboy,

It will work, althought second one will be ran at the 600 Mhz zore clock and 1800 Memory clock to match the first one. Also make sure power supply can handle this as use a lot of power to run SLI - 8800 GTX. In fact, when I ask making mine to into SLI, all my responses didn't recommended to me because wasn't worth it price or power requirements.

The faster card will slow down to the slower cards speed, so you won't get any benefit from the OC2 card's higher clocks unless you overclock the OC card to OC2 speeds
But in essence, yes you can SLi them!
