560 Ti's DS SC.. are these 2 SLi'able?

[fredcol]

So a buddy has a GTX 560 Ti DS (factory superclocked) model # 01G-P3-1567-KR

on newegg they have a refurb of what seems to be similar..

01G-P3-1567-RX


i havent been able to find anything about whether these two would be SLi'able because my friend said when the 660s drop he'd let me have his 560 to SLi if i grabbed one now.

so.. can 01G-P3-1567-KR and 01G-P3-1567-RX be SLi'd? what do the last two digits mean anyways?


Thanks!!

So they seem almost exactly the same, they should SLI.

As long as the memory size and series are the same - SLI will work. Just make sure
your mobo, case & PSU are up to the task. SLI requires more PSU capacity, generates more heat,
and make sure your pcie slots are x8 min. When I SLIed my GTX460 I put a fan blowing sideways at the cards. When I upgrade my case I will be looking for one with side fan capability.

It will work 100%.

Thanks for the help guys! I really appreciate it!

I'm waiting on my i7-3770k to come out and my build's done (other than gfx card which i've been waffling on)

but i've got:

mobo: GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 -- it's got pcie x16, x8, and x4 for SLi capabilities so i'm set there.
cpu: i7-3770k (3 more weeks!)
gfx cards: eVGA GTX 560 Ti DS SC? (1 for now, SLi in near future)
PSU: Corsair TX 850w
case: NZXT Guardian
Ram: mushkin 2x4 gb
cooler: coolermaster hyper n520 (& mx4 paste)
SSD: ocz agility 3 120gb
HDD: 1TB seagate barracuda



my goal is ~4.5ish with this setup, pretty budget friendly build i think i'm in about 5-600 so far, cpu still to be bought & graphics card too.


food for thought: since i can get that card for ~$215, is it better to grab that and SLi 2 of em (one will be free)

OR

wait it out and run SLi'd legacy 8800 GT alphadog's (was my original plan) until 660's come around in your opinions?

 

[Sunius]

Well, if 8800 GTs can satisfy you with their performance, you should wait. It shouldn't be long until 660s show up - I bet they will launch at the same time as Ivy bridge CPUs. Note: they will be a bit more expensive than 560 Ti's are today: my guess is $300.

 

[fredcol]

would 2 560 Ti's be better performance-wise than 1 660 Ti or maybe not Ti thougH?

 

[Sunius]

Yes, two GTX 560 Ti's will most certainly have better performance. They are close to GTX 680.
