Quick question about SLi

[edwjac]

Would it make any difference or cause any problems if you had the same card but different makes and one was OC and the other wasn't

does not matter what the brands are at all , texture memory on the other hand is very important on nvidia at leased , they musrt have the same amount of v-ram (radeons can be mismatched on the other hand to some extent , but NOT nvidia) , now with different clock speeds on radeon this is possible , the driver will clock down the more powerful card to match the other one , never done it with nvidia so i cant comment on that.

Best advice is to have exactly the same model of card (i mean the chip not manufacturer , coolers etc) with the same clock speeds & same amount of v-ram ,

Personally mismatching cards does not appeal to me , potentially troublesome , but this is only my opinion on it & not the be all & end all by no means.

Hope this helps in some way :yes:

Well the thing is I have a EVGA Superclocked Titan card atm and I want to go SLi but to do so I certainly need a need system but PCS don't stock EVGA cards or superclocked ones

You could order a system but without the graphics cards and then add your own (ie. the one you already have and get yourself another), I know some people have done that when PCS haven't got the specific graphics card that they wanted, or if you send them the graphics card(s) they can probably install it for you when building the machine - though I'd double-check on that one, I think they will do that, but it may depend on various things.
