SLI Requirements
>> Pair your new BFG GeForce-based graphics card with an identical BFG GeForce-based graphics card.
IMPORTANT: Graphics cards MUST be from the same manufacturer and contain identical GPUs. For example, a BFG GeForce 7800 GTX OC PCI-E can only be paired with another BFG GeForce 7800 GTX OC PCI-E graphics card.



i think not

i thought it was nay manuatureer with the ssame chip type

Duh! They're trying to get you to Buy TWO of THEIR cards.

And I Believe it's just the same chipset as well...
 
yes, you can match a evga and bfg card, i did it for a while
 
That used to be the case, but its not now. Perhaps they just forgot to edit that.
 
while, its wrong also, i have been waiting 20 mins on the hpone wioth them now lol


fuckers
 
That was the case, but Nvidia fixed this with a driver release. They probably haven't updated their website like fallguy stated.
 
well it also says for minimum requirements a PIII will do, show me a PIII board with pci-e and ill get one :D
 
Good luck getting support for an SLI setup with different manufacturers though.

XYZ: Hello, XYZ tech support.
You: Hi, I have an XYZ and ABC card running in SLI but *problem*
XYZ: You're going to have to contact ABC about that. *evil cackle*
ABC: Hello, ABC tech support.
You: Hi, I have an XYZ and ABC card running in SLI but *problem*
ABC: You're going to have to contact XYZ about that. *evil cackle*
Repeat.

Only eVGA warranties modding and OCing a card, and thats only if the card comes back in about same way you bought it.

It says here that you can not use an aftermarket cooler.

I would say it's just old info the abilty to use different cards is not that old... I also would agree that it might have something to do with selling more cards...

There have been two discrete threads on this very subject over the past six months. Like others have stated, anything other than blowing the dust off the heatsinks voids the BFG warranty. You are wasting your time.

If your customer prefers aftermarket heatsinks, have a waiver signed stating the above fact.
