SLI 970 and 960 - quick yes/no question
- Thread starter amdhappy
- Start date
No, you need two 970’s.
You could SLI the 960 but the performance isn’t much better than a single 970, and that’s on games that support SLI - not all do.
In a nutshell you need two matching GPU’s ie 2x 970, 2x1070 (as I have) and so on, brand isn’t an issue, so you can SLI an Asus 970 with a Gigabyte one for example.
Oh and a psu that’ll provide enough juice!

Need to of the same cards, it does not usually matter which brand as already mentioned. Though EVGA did have some weird SLI implementation on there 970 specifically if I recall only being able to SLI properly with other 970's. https://www.evga.com/support/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=59534
Also I would avoid SLI where you have some nice single options available. Could be worth selling both and paying a bit more for say a used 980Ti.
