Need help setting up SLI config between two different 670s

[adampcpower]

I currently have a ZOTAC gtx 670 AMP! edition, and my friend gave me Galaxy (67NPH6DV5ZJX) GeForce GTX 670 2GB Card. They have different core clock speeds, and i know i either have to raise one or lower the other, and iv never overlooked before. Will these two cards work and what should i do to get performance out of the two?

You don't actually have to change either, but MSI Afterburner, with a bit of work, can get them close to matching. With the boost tech, you'll find they will clock a little differently no matter what you do.

You don't actually have to have them at the same clock speeds, thats just a common suggestion for when there are issues. The two shloud work together fine, you should put the strongest OC'er as the top card because that will have the most usage, also make sure your PSU is enough, a good quality 650w is a minimum.

Other than that bung them in and see how it goes.

awesome, thats good to hear. Also, do i need a specific SLI bridge connector, or any generic one and where can i purchase one? And when you say put strongest OCer as the top card, you mean physically in the top slot of my motherboard?
