Plus they will have to have the same build.

SLI is a fragile thing, i've heard of storys with one card having a standard desing pcb whil the other had a manufactures desing.

And it was unstable as hell

SLI will work. However the drivers will downclock the XFX card to match the speeds of the PNY. And no, they will not have to be the same manufacturer. I ran an eVga and an XFX 7600GT in SLI for almost 4 months, and had no problems.
