Thinking about SLI-ing 2 Asus 570 dcii

Anyone got two of these SLI'd - I will need a motherboard that has plenty of space as they are each 3 slot (and space for a wifi and a sound card) - what motherboard are you using?

i have one and a P8P67 Pro motherboard. Its a huge card and I cant SLI 2 of these as the cooler covers the 2 slots below it and partially blocks the next pci-e x16 slot making it impossible to fit another card.

If i did decide to go SLI id have to get a normal dual slot card for the top slot and and put the big asus card in the lower slot.

If i did that id have a PCI slot and a PCI-E x1 slot available.

Thanks for the reply. How does SLI'ing two different cards work, is it usually ok?

Yup as long as they are both the same type, ie 2 570s or 2 560s. You can mix and match manufacturers just fine

Thanks - just need to wait for some people to start flogging their 570's now, and also a SLI capable motherboard
