Couldn't you take a 7800GTX and a 7800GT and underclock the GTX to the GT speeds. Then sli the two cards?

It would be a 50/50 ratio and it would still be faster than just having a 7800GTX alone.

yeah i was just gonna say, can't you flash the gs/gt bios to a common one? im sure it'd be less stable than WinME, but its worth a shot if you're comfortable with such a process

And memory types. GS's usually use DDR2, while GT's use GDDR3.

So I am going to hijack/ressurrect this to continue the discussion one step further. I understand that the chipset serials have to be the same, i.e. nVidia 9500GT has to be paired with a 9500GT. However. What about a 9500GT with 512 MB of memory and a 9500GT with 1GB of memory? Can those be SLI'd? They use the same 128-bit memory type.

Thanks in advance...

Here are the cards I am contemplating SLI-ing:

and

Its another year... whats the consensus say now?

How much crossbreading can we do now?

We can tri-cards now...

And to what extent can we flash the cards, ie can you flash a stock to another vendors OC?
Can you flash a reference card?

Yes, and yes.

You can Quad SLI with e.g. 2x GTX 590s. Tri-SLI with 3x GTX 580 for example.

Quad-Fire can be obtained down to 4x HD6950s, I believe.

You can mix and match from any vendor as long as it's the same GPU. It's not recommended to mix different VRAM sizes, but it's possible.

You can flash most cards to a different vendor's OC.

Yes, you can flash reference cards. At least that's what I heard.
