Hey, im sure its prolly in here somewhere but I figured it would be faster to ask. I have a gtx260 OC and a GTX260 Maxcore 55 OC.

Can I SLI these 2 cards? From what ive read online its a kind of a hit and miss senario. Ive read to put the slower card in slot 1 and the faster card in slot 2 so it can downclock to meet the slowers card speeds.

Any help is appreciated.
 
This is where nvidia is playing the name game, as they do in the last few years, producing two different videocards under the same name. I guess your first 260 is 192sp and the maxcore is 200+sp, so I doubt they gonna play together... But if the difference is only clocks, there should be no problem.
 
The only difference between cards are:

gtxoc:
Texture Fill Rate 37.8 Billion/sec.
Processor Cores 192

gtxmacore:
Texture Fill Rate 42.5 Billion/sec.
Processor Cores 216 (vs. 192 standard)
 
I think (not certain) you can use CoolBits to force SLI in that case, but you'll lose 18 shaders on the 216 core card in the process. You may not need CoolBits to make it work, I would try it first without, but obviously no promises either way. Look up CoolBits documentation.
 
i wouldnt even run sli just run them together you should be able to do that just to run multi monitors w/o problems
 
Apparently according to NVidia they are SLIable... There was an article on it in the SLIforums... So I decided to SLI them and see whats what. Put the slower GPU on top and the faster on the bottom. Heres what Ive discovered... I cant seem to tell the difference with a second GPU and now my case is
2x as noisy as it was before. Also, I am sometimes getting micro stutters which are annoying as shit. I think I will sell the cards within a month or 2 and buy new cards or just card. not sure yet...
