I'm about to go sli and add a 2nd 8800 gts 320 to my system. The bios on the new card is different. To I have to update it? If so, how?
 
YES, MY NEW CARD HAS A NEW BIOS. DO I NEED TO UPDATE THE OLDER CARD?
 
WTF? Why two posts asking the same questions? and what's up with the CAPS!?!?
 
As long as the clocks are the same, no. If they are different (i.e. one is factory OCed) then yes I would update them.
 
thanks, good info ...

.but I'm assuming that when I try to overclock the 2 cards (they are same factory clock) , I'd have to do it individually to see what the tolerances are for each card, since they leave the factory different, no matter what factory version? right?
 
No, I just used RivaTuner on my sig rig and it works just fine. OC's both cards at the same time nicely. You shouldn't run into any problems as long as you don't try doing something like OCing them to 800MHz core with stock cooling.:p:p The fan speeds can also be adjusted via RivaTuner.

Using SLI isn't as complicated as it sounds really. I hope this helps!
