Combine cards

[coleman]

hi all i have a quick question, can you combine gfx cards that are different brands?

for example

http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=pyn+9800gtx%2b&FORM=BIFD#focal=31169bb6f4b87190a664b9ab16c56a16&furl=http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.dsgibusiness.com%2Fimg%2Fproducts%2FA0435719.jpg

and

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nvidia-512MB-GeForce-9800GTX-RRP-89-99-NO-RESERVE-/120591500661?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Computing_Computer_Components_Graphics_Video_TV_Cards_TW&hash=item1c13d04575
or do they have to be the same make and model card.

thanks

Hello
The cards have to be the same model(with few exceptions), but the brands can be different(read more about combining cards in SLI/CF FAQs, the link is in my sig)
