Go to solution Solved by VioDuskar,

it depends on what you want to do. if you just want more monitors, then any GPU will do. 

If you want to use them like SLI or Crossfire they must be the same GPU. 
 

If you just want to use Eyefinity or NVidia surround, i don't think they have to be the same model, but they have to be the same brand.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.
