7900GT + 6600GT SLi

[Goatee]

Hi

I have a XFX 7900GT on a Asus A8N32 SLi Deluxe. I also have an Asus 6600GT. Is there any point in running these 2 graphics cards together? Will there be any real benefit? Pardon my ignorance if the answer is obvious.

Thanks

You can't run those two cards together they have to be the same card, i.e 2x7900s or 2x6600s etc...

I heard that the cards have to be identical because 1 side of your screen would load faster than the other, + 7900 and 6600 just wouldn't work together

nobody heard of using one card as physics, akin to ATIs approach

Yes, but this is about running a 7900 GT, and a 6600 GT in SLI which you can't do.

Thanks for the replies. Do the cards have to be exactly the same? The XFX 7900GT doesn't appear to be available anymore so can I just use any 7900GT with the same about of memory?

Thanks

so NVIDIA aren't following ATI with this one?

Yep, just bang another 7900gt in and your ready to go.
