Mixing cards in SLI

[Guest2]

I currently have an EVGA reference GTX 670

Is it possible to pair with another card in the future for SLI or should I stick with EVGA and get another EVGA reference card?

Aslong as they have the same vRAM you should be ok, the card with the highest clock will get clocked down to what your other is at, I believe.

Don't hold me to any of this.

Any GTX 670 should work.

They can run at different clock speeds as well although ideally you'll overclock the slower one to the speed of the higher one. Alternatively, you could overclock them both to a higher than stock speed.

I'll dig out the old Matrox Mystique 220 4mb beast and see how it runs with the 670

You can mix cards from different manufacturers (such as MSI, ASUS, Gigabyte etc.) provided that they are the same GPU (a GTX 670 must be paired with another GTX 670) although with AMD cards, HD GX#0 cards can be paired with cards with the same X and G value, even if # is different (so a 7950 can crossfire with a 7970 for example, and a 6990 can crossfire with a 6970)

Doesn't need to be the same brand, i had tri-fire with a Sapphire 5970 and an XFX 5870 before, worked fine.
