Well I have had a ASUS EN7800GTX for about a little over a year in my system. The version I have had is a single slot
Here is link:

The cooling is in question on this one.

I have recently aquired a 2nd ASUS EN7800GTX. This one is a dual slot withthe better cooling.
Looks like this one:
http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=2&l2=6&l3=198&model=589&modelmenu=2

Now when I purchased it from newegg it showed the same specs my older one had but when I check ASUS it shows clock at 486 and mem at 1.35.

Unfortunetly I was unable to even test SLI out last night since I have run out of power hookups on my OCZ power supply. I have ordered a new PSU that should be here in a couple days.

Now for my questions.....

Will I be able to run these 2 cards in SLI????

Check sig for MB and other rig info. What driver should I use for these cards??
 
I've been able to SLI two cards from different manufacturers with the same chipset. IE 1 Albatron 6600GT & 1 Gigabyte 6600GT simply by flashing both with the same rev Albatron 6600GT BIOS. So my guess is yes it will work, but you may have to have the same BIOS on both cards. Also when I had 2x6600GT Albatron cards AND when I had 2x6600GT Gigabyte cards both sets required that one card be primary and the other be secondary, they would not enable when switched around despite being (theoretically) identical cards. If it doesn't work str8 away make sure you swap their positions prior to monkeying with BIOS flashes.
 
Hmm, I do not have card next to me atm but just checked my invoice and it didn't have the TOP on it like the one at the asus website.
Curious...I'll have to check tonight and see if it has the TOP on the actual card.

You should be fine........ sli will default to the lower clocked of the GPU's. Let us know how it benches....:beer:

Oh yeah..... and 91.47 for the driver.....
