SLI Compatability

[Crimson]

So, i have a 9800 GTX. I was wondering if i could take the 9800 GTX+ and run that jointly with the regular 9800GTX in SLI mode?

Yes, if your board supports it.

**Word of Caution** When you SLI a more capable card with a less capable one of the same gpu, the higher capable card WILL take on the lower card's attributes.

according to my information he's right, you can SLI them, but there are restrictions, amount of memory and clock speed being of primary importance. You should really get the exact same card in my experience.

Umm, no, it won't work. IIRC, the 9800GTX+ uses a 55nm core, which is not compatible in SLI. You have to have the EXACT same core architecture to SLI cards.

~Gooda~
