Crossfire Question

Sli is to nvidia what Crossfire is to ATI. They are sort of the same in that they use 2 cards to increase performance to X.

Now as for the cards. Crossfire requires 2 of the same chipsets. example 4870 1 gb with a 4870 1gb. Now with that said. You can allow for certain shortfalls for one card and the first card will change its internal settings to match it.. example 4870 1 gb with a 4870 512mb. The 1 gb card will drop its use to 512mb. If the clock speeds are different generally the higher faster card will drop its clock speeds to match the slower card.

There are some rare examples that the slower card will OC itself to match the faster card, but like I said rare.

So for your answer, YES any brand of 4870 card will work, just be aware of the underclocking factor.

It doesn't when I've Sli'd two differently clocked cards.

It has never been possible to Sli two different GPU's, one only has to read the Nvidia FAQ to understand that thus it's not about being careful, just educated.

Surely you mean GPU?

The BIOS's are different, if you were to reflash the BIOS of a 9800 (65nm) with that of an 8800GTS then it would most likely SLI as they are essentially the same card.
