Can two different models of the same GPU SLI?

[IO Studios]

Hi,

I was wondering if I can use two different models of a 1080 for SLI, e.g.

SLI this:

With this:

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01IR6LMLO/ref=ox_sc_act_image_9?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&psc=1

 

The reason I am asking this is because I want to SLI two 1080s, but amazon has some dumb limit of 1 GPU per customer (I know it's to stop miners, but still).

 

Any suggestions?

yes, but both cards will default to the slowest card's speed

 

EDIT: Instead of going for a 1080 SLI setup get a 1080Ti. I dont see any benefit of SLI in it's current state

That was the awnser I was looking for.

The reason I am doing SLI for 1080 is that my content creation takes advantage of multiple GPUs, and 1080 has good value. The reason for SLI is that I want more fps in games aswel

To be honest most games will run worse since SLI is such a niche many games either dont support it or are very poorly optimized and result in worse performance

Can’t say most games if you don’t actually no what they means. 

 

Prolly one game I’ve played in the past 10 years of running sli that didn’t “support” it. 

 

Ive used 5 1080’s 4 being different. No issues aside from weak cpu’s.

Yeah we have no problems here with cf or SLI people on here say dumb stuff alot this being one  you can't argue with em either even though I'm currently running these configs with no issues tech tubers still use SLI but these people on here are still right.
