I have a EVGA 256-P2-N515-AX and i wanted to get a eVGA 256-P2-N516-RX to run in sli. The clock speeds differ though... the one i have now is 445/1070 and the one I'd like to buy is 460/1100. So there is the question, will it work?
thanks for the help

Yeah, they will clock to the lowest card's speed. You should be able to easily hit the speed of the newer one, though, and even higher if you use coolbits, like Rike mentioned. Just don't let the reg entry file throw you off like it did me when I first tried to use coolbits. I don't know if you are familiar with the tweak or not, but it is just a single registry entry that unlocks content already built into the nVidia drivers. I was (stupidly), confused when I first tried to use it.
