Question, If I have a 3 gb card in one slot and a 2gb card in another, would I get the vram performance of the 3 gb card? The reason I ask is that it is my understanding that the vram of the second card is not used in SLI
I wasn't talking about sli'ing a 660 gtx and and a 660ti, I meant
Sli'ing a 3gb gtx 660 (non ti) with a gtx 660 2gb (non ti). Sorry for the confusion. I asked because I read somewhere that for some reason the 3gb scales better with the 192 bit bus controller...
You're still going to use 2GB. Remember that both cards are supposed to mirror each other, so it copies the same data onto both cards.
It's like trying to copy a 150 page notebook onto a 100 page notebook.. you're going to run out of pages.
That would be my concern. How do you know which card the driver will consider primary? What happens when it tries to use over 2gigs of ram?
