Desgent Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Is it possible to use a 285gtx with a 660ti in a SLI set-up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noir Angel Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 No. You can use 2 different cards in SLI mode but they have to be from the same series (EG you could use an 8600 and an 8800 but not an 8600 and a 9600) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xendrome Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Sorry to hijack.. but could I sli my 670 with a 680 then? I think you can, but the 680 is going to clock down to 670 speeds if you do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyLarry Veteran Posted June 3, 2013 Veteran Share Posted June 3, 2013 I think you can, but the 680 is going to clock down to 670 speeds if you do that. This is correct. If you do use two similar cards, both will inherit the specifications of the slowest card in the configuration. I ran SLi for about 2 years, and while I generally liked it, it was a bit of a pain in the ass doing so. Some new games would not get an SLi profile right at launch, so would have to manually create one, which was easy enough, but just one extra step. I just felt like the support was not fully there. So I sold them to get a single card solution equal to what I had, and I have been a happy camper ever since. I might go ahead and do it again once my card drops in price just to get that extra performance, but for now I prefer a single card solution. Just less work overall.
