Very quick SLI question....

[McGray]

Hi all, hope you can help!

I'm currently running this card and am looking at getting a second one:

Point of View GeForce GTX 260 896MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (R-VGA150911F)

It seems as though that model is now pretty hard to come by. I've found a very similar card here and was wondering if the two will work together:

Any advice is much appreciated.

Cheers

Age old question, As long as the card is a 260 yes it will work.

 

[McGray]

Thank you.

Not an SLI expert - but I would say it would yes. You will only get the speed of the lowest GPU /memory out of the two cards, but SLI should work without a problem

If any 260 will work then I guess I'm better off going for a cheaper option like the below:

Does it matter that it's not a Point of View card...?

Is the gtx260 you already have a 216 core version ?

If so, the card you linked to should be fine.

The manufacturer doesnt matter but it may make a difference if u already have the 192SP version as all the current ones are 216SP. I would assume if would work or nvidia would have a serios naming fail but best if someone who uses sli can confirm.

The Asus at £120 wold be a fine choice tho, no need to spend loads on the OCed versions as u can do it urself. I think u need to clock both cards the same tho to avoid stuttering.

Cheers all.

Pretty sure my card is the 192SP version but hopefully it shouldn't cause any problems.

Gonna order the Asus today.
