New XFX 7800 GT?? Special edition? SLI

[stefong2]

:) Hey guys I've got a XFX 7800 GT and since I just upgraded to an A8n ASUS SLI board I'm going to buy another GT. My question is about the new XFX 7800 GT model. Its a much more flashy card visually but will it be compatible with my other GT? :shrug: Or is it just visually different and if paired with the older one in SLI, will it work? If someone can answer this for me it would really be a great help. I'd hate to buy the newer GT, put it in SLI with the older one and find that its not compatible! :eek:
Thanks in advance guys! :)

As long as the BIOS's are the same they will work together

The new Nvidia drivers will let you run SLI on ANY two cards of the same type (GT and GT) you don't even need to buy the same brand as long as they are GT's.

doesn't the new one have different clocks?

[mysterfix]

It doesn't matter as long as the card you pair it with can do the same clocks. If it can't then you will need to put the slower card in the first pci-e slot. The drivers will match the clock speeds to which ever one is in the first slot.
