Dual GPU SLI - ?'s

[MC4PC]

I have a GTX 550ti. i wanted to run it in SLI but i can't find another card the same as the one i have. Can I run the PNY card i have now with a GTX 55TI of another Brand, Like say a ZOTAC or an EVGA card togehter in SLI or will in not work, or Decrease proformace, or will it not make absolutley any differace what so evere except the looks of the cards?

as long as they both have the same chip set it will work in SLI.

Most times it will work. Just make sure to buy them with the same amount of ram. Usally ram won't matter either but sometimes different capacities can cause problems.

If it doesn't work you can make use of your 14 day return window when buying online

You can run any card from any board partner (ie eVGA MSI PNY) if they are the same chip as Deeko said. For example if you have a GTX 550ti you need to have a 550ti in order to SLI. It will not decrease performance if they are from different board partners. Make sure you have a SLI bridge, they usually come with the mother board and are an orange color.
