2 different card brands in SLI mode ?

I already have a PNY 7800 GTX but they have stopped making that card, can I buy another 7800 GTX but a different brand and run them in SLI mode ?

thanks

Welcome to AnandTech! But you could have also gone to the source:

With the new "Release 80" driver, NVIDIA takes SLI to an entirely new level. First of all, gamers can use graphics cards in SLI mode with different clock speeds, different BIOS settings, different input/output configurations, different memory sizes and from different manufacturers. That means that our friends Nick and Jeff can buy any graphics card they want, as long as it's the same model as their current graphics card (GeForce 7800 GTX for Nick, and GeForce 6800 GT for Jeff). How's THAT for flexibility?

Thanks Mad Mod Mike!
