is there any problems with SLI-ing non-identical video cards? i have a gtx 260 core 216 from evga, not overclocked...i want to add a BFG 260 core 216 OC maxcore factory overlocked for SLI goodness...will i run into problems? will it be slower because they're not the same pair, and one is not overclocked, and the other is?

if i recall correctly, they should work together in SLI as long as they are both 260 core 216. and they will run at the lower speed of the two. But you should be fine. Not a 100% ont hat though

For SLi it's best of they are the same card. You shouldn't have a problem since they are both core 216, but I don't know if there will be any sync issues with one overclocked. You can always just alter the clock speeds to try and make them both match if it makes any difference.

I am just guessing, but if both cards stick pretty close to the nVidia reference design, they should work.
