Sli question

[evulboo]

hey im after some advice on sli, my 8800ultra went bang so sent it of for rma. i had it in my mind i would sell the replacement so i bought myself a Gainward GeForce GTX 260 Golden Sample. the replacement card i got this morning was a brand new EVGA GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 SSC.

Would i be able to have these 2 cards run in sli?

my mb is an Asus P5N32-E SLi nForce 680

next question is, will my psu be up for the job?

OCZ GameXStream 600w Silent SLI Ready

Im guessing the faster card of the 2 will slow its clock speeds to match the slower card?

thanks for the replies.

i decided to give it a test and ran 3dmark vantage on the 3 different setups i could have with the 2 cards.

Gainward GeForce GTX 260 Golden Sample - 11672

EVGA GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 SSC - 12636

Both in sli - 19347


my setup for anyone that is interested is as follows

e6600 @ 3.4
P5N32-E SLI
4 x 1gb geil
running vista 64
