Got a BFG GTX 260 Maxcore 55 - want to do 2 way sli


Do I need another FG card or will any 260 do? Do I need to make sure it has 216 cores (why wouldn't i?) - and do I need to make sure it is 55nm?

I am seeing some deals on other brands of GTX260 so I think I could get one cheaper than another BFG if the SLI will work just the same.

aslong as they're both same cores/fab process you should be good.

A GTX 260 will SLI with another GTX 260. Doesn't matter what clock speeds, how many cores or what process.
