SLI with GTX 560 SOC and GTX 560 OC.

Hi everyone.

I got myself a Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti SOC and a Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti OC.
My question is: Is it possible to do SLI with those 2 cards together ?
If its a yes, what kind of SLI bridge should i use ? ( bought a EVGA Asus MSI standard 3-Way SLI Bridge, that didnt work well.. the bridge wouldnt fit on the cards :/)

My PC specs:

Processor - Intel Core i5 2500K.
Motherboard - ASUS SABERTOOTH B3.
RAM - 8GB 1600Mhz Kingston HyperX blu.
Power supply - Corsair CMPSU-850TXEU.

hope all my specs are ok to handle those 2 cards in SLI if possible.

Also hope you guys are willing to help me :-)


greetings Mads

Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.

I am no expert on SLI with nVidia cards but I don't see that there should be any problem with using those two cards together. I would think at worst you would be running them at the lower performace cards speed. As for the bridge it may just be that you are trying to use a three way bridge on two cards. Itake it that you are trying to use the two end connections.

Should work. As long same memory. If diff memory u can fix it in the reg to the lower memory. Or just clock the other card at the same speed if it works and check temps
