A random SLI question...

Random SLI question..well scenario.

Card 1: 8800GTX @ Ultra clocks.
Card 2: 8800 Ultra

Would SLI work? Simple yes/no will suffice. My understanding is that the cards have to be EXACTLY the same so i'm pretty sure it wouldn't work but i'd like a confirmation.

No it wouldn't because the GPU chip is different.

Would it not be possible to flash the GTX card with an Ultra Bios?

Possilby - just as a 7900GTO could be flashed to a GTX

It should work as the only difference is the core tranistors, which do nothin for performance, only that they are cooler.

It should work as it all it would do is foirce the second card to the first cards clocks but as hes overclocked it to Ultra speeds it should have no problem.

Though why wont you get a GTX as it is cheaper??

I'm not actually thinking of buying the cards...it's just an example. So you're saying it'll work?
