This is sort of a question in itself, and hoping to hear if anyone has any experience with this...
I am a fresh "red team" defector (NOT looking to start a flame fest, but after numerous driver issues with my dual 5870 rig, I Ebayd 'em and went with a GTX 480)
I have every intention of getting another 480 for SLI and Surround- My question is about mixing brands of cards. The one I picked up is an EVGA Superclocked. Is is possible, or sensible, to do something like the Zotac AMP edition, to help keep temps under control? (I have an MSI Eclipse Plus, so I have the slots available...) My other small issue with the Zotac is it's a 3 slot card, which means I'll have no room for a Physx card... Not even sure if it's worth it, yet- more homework to do on that front.
Anyone have any experience with this? I am ASSUMING the clocks will need to match if different cards are used, but correct me if I am off base on this. Thanks for any input!
