Gtx 960 sli 4gb and 2gb

[Marcus Torre DeProspero]

Can you sli a gtx 960 4gb with a 2gb without any bad side effects like having to slow them down?

I have this with 760's. They'll both be recognized as 2gb cards.

AFAIK, you can't SLI with different vRAM. Unless Nvidia changed it again.

you sure can, I'm doing it right now.

Ah, I wish Nvidia would just make up their mind. It even says in their SLI guides that the vRAM needs to match -.-

I feel so bad for you, I can't live without 4gb of vram

It's fine for 1080p. If I really need 4gb, I just disable sli.

Oh that  is true but still. Doesn't a gtx 760 wip a gtx 960 pretty hard?

what? I believe a 760 and a 960 are pretty close.

I looked it up a while ago and saw that the benchmarks show that the gtx 760 is pretty much better than a gtx 960 by a few fps

That's in older games where the 128-bit bus "shines"

So in newer games the memory speed doesn't matter as much. Is that what you are generally saying?

older games abused the memory controller rather than the memory itself
