I AM LOOKING FOR A GRAPHICS CARD BECAUSE I AM IN DEEP NEED OF ONE. I CURRENTLY HAVE A FX5200 (BAD CARD!) aNYWAY, I HEARD ABOUT THE 512MB VERSION OF IT AND SLI. I WAS WONDERING IF YOU BUY A 256MB CARD, AND THEN WAIT FOR THE 512MB TO DROP IN PRICE, IS IT POSSIBLE TO SLI TWO DIFFERENT CARDS WITH DIFFERENT MEMORIES AND SPEED.

Im reffering to the 7800 family when i said 256mb.

Some of the specifications that I cjecked are slightly different. For instance some say the cards must be from the same manufacturer and others don't. However they must be of the same class (i.e. 6800 GT will not work with a 6800 Ultra). However I can not see any mention of anything saying the memory should be the same. But, with the SLI enabled I don't think you would get much of an advantage with only 1 card with 512MB memory. this technology is still fairly new and I would try to keep everything as identical as possible to avoid any conflicts.

o I SEE, BUT DOESN'T SLI DOUBLE THE POWER. http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/display/games-2005.html HAS A BENCHMARKING LIST THAT SHOWS THAT SLI CAN ALMOST DOUBLE YOUR FRAME RATES. BUT FOR NOW, A GTX 256MB IS POWERFULL ENOUGH.

Unlike math, 1+1 doesn't equal 2 with SLI. When Google isn't your best pal

STOP SHOUTING! What system are you considering this for? Hopefully not your AXP 2000+ because it can't be done...

I know that. Umm... Well I'm going to have it customized. the specs are... 1) AMD X2 4200+ 2) Asus SLI duel lan motherboard 3) 1x1024mb duel channel ram, 450mhz 4) 180, 250bb hardrives, (currently have) 5) x-fi fatalIty Then ill probally het the gtx but once again to that question aking if you could add two different memory chips in SlI.
