Is it true that you cannot SLI a graphics card with the same GPUs but diffrent memory size on the cards?

For example...

Card 1 - GTX 460 768Mb
Card 2 - GTX 460 1GB

I was planning to SLI,but cannot fit another regular GTX 460 in my case due to where Gigabyte put the second Pci-e slot on my mobo,the only way id be able to SLI is if i had a really thin cooler GTX 460 like the up comming KFA2 GTX 460 which uses a slim cooler...

although i asked them and they dont currently have plans for a 768mb version... :mad:
 
Unfortunately, that motherboard doesn't support SLI (crossfire only) and the second main PCIE slot only runs at x4 speed.

Oh man i did not know that,well thats that plan out the window then :p

Well, given the circumstances it seems like the only reasonable upgrade path for you is to sell your 460 and buy some more powerful card like hd 6950 or gtx 560

I did actually consider getting a 6950 and unlocking it to 6970,but at £250 ish its a bit expensive :/

Im gonna wait to see how much the GTX 560 is.
