Will 2 different 7800gt's work in SLI?

[yomafire]

I have a Leadtek now and thinking of getting BFG.

Is that going to cause problems?

Yes they will work. Update to the latest drivers though.

They'll both have to be capable of running at the same clock speeds - which of the two they go to is determined by which order you put them in the slots. That shouldn't be a problem, though.

You can mix cards for SLi as long as they are both the same GPU, reguardless of brand. i.e.: MSI's 7800GT & eVGA's 7800GT CO will work in SLi. But you have to use 8X.xx nVidia drivers.

Quote from Mad Mod Mike off SLiZone:

Mixing Cards: You can use a GeForce 7800 GTX from manufacturer ABC with a GeForce 7800 GTX from manufacturer XYZ. However, you must still use two graphics cards that have the same GPU. For example, a GeForce 7800 GT must be matched with another GeForce 7800 GT (not with a GeForce 7800 GTX or a GeForce 6800 Ultra). Likewise, you cannot mix the GeForce 7800 GTX 512 with the GeForce 7800 GTX. Look here for more information.

This may also answer a few other questions.
