    So long as they are the same model and spec there shouldn't be any problem

    You'll be fine. It'll just clock itself down to the slowest card though.

    Not true. They will run at their default overboost clocks. Just make sure the power targets are the same on each card, otherwise you will be in the hole I was in fightimg with drivers.

    So check in MSI sfterburner what your max power target is on each card. I.E 145%
    If they are the same, then you shouldn't have any problems. ;)

    As long as they have the sameish clocks and same memory size, it is fine. When mixing brands I always used to just take the lazy way and flash both with the same bios.

    Oh right! For an inexplicable reason I read 580s.

    Hey TrueGamer, when you get rid of your 670s, want to send one over my way? I kinda want SLI. :D

    I tried that on the SC card, and it made no differences... Still had problems. Could be down to having less Capacitors/Phases perhaps.

    I don't plan on upgrading for a yr or two on the GPU's. Unless the GTX 780's leaves the Titan in the dust. :)

    It's all good, I'm just looking for a rather cheap GTX670 Cheesecake as I have one already.

    Who knows, Tri SLI? ;)
