    « on: December 06, 2007, 02:10:14 PM »
    If your SLIing two 6800 ultra's do they need to be of the same maker? Can you have one OC and one not?

    The basic idea of SLI is to allow two (or more) graphics processing units (or GPUs) to share the work load when rendering a 3D scene. Ideally, two identical graphics cards are installed in a motherboard that contains two PCI-Express x16 slots, set up in a master-slave configuration.

    The whole article is worth a read.

    Good luck
