Is it possible to have the same card, but with different makers running on SLI?

Because I have an EVGA 7950 GT, while my brother has a FOXCONN 7950GT. Can I use both of these cards and run them on the same mother board on SLI

Yea it works, I've seen people with BFG cards and XFX cards in SLI

Yes, you can.

As long as the cores are the same kind, you can run them in SLI.

example:
XFX 8800GT 512mb + PNY 8800GT 512mb in SLI will work.
XFX 8800GT 512mb + eVGA 8800GTS 512mb will NOT work.

Thanks a lot for the help!
Really Appreciate it.

exactly, sorry should of specified

a n00b question here, something I've always wondered, why wouldn't the 8800GT and 512MB GTS work...? don't the both have the same core (G92)...?

I'm mixing a pny with an evga and I have had no issues.

While they are the same core, it's probably a driver-level limitation that prevents SLI with slightly different cards with the same core. The GPU identifies itself as a certain card model (8800GT, 8800GTS, etc) and the driver would recognize this and prevent any kind of SLI if the two cards weren't a match.

The cores are similar, but not the same. The GTS has a few more shader processors and other things, and its BIOS is not compatible with the GT. There are other limitations besides the core itself that prevent different cards from being SLI'd.
