Mixed cards -- oc versions

[bigkid]

i have an evga 8800gts card ... thinking of getting evga 275 tfw ....i read somewhere that
you can run both cards using the 8800 as an extra physix processor ... enyone else know of this?
also... douu you think the extra 50 bucks for the ftyw is worth it???? thanks

i don't think the extra $50 is worth it for the ftw, get a stock one and OC to the ftw speeds and should be easy to do, they usually only use mild OC's

i just started playing with the evga precision utility ( on my 8800 that i paid $500 for, but i digress ) and looks like a good tool for overclocking video.....
....just saw that factory oc cards tend to be more stable....sumthin like.... they try to oc all cards ...those that fail become
the stock...succeed and u have ftw....<or> they just oc any old card to ftw specs and charge$....---is that the case , any old card ... THEN ---OC and and SHAZZAM..."===>FTW<==== "

is this the case????


---- more confusion ...should i wait for dx11 cards???? ---- BASED on my current research my ans is NNNNNOOOOO ......( reasoning too exhaustive to explain right now ( a few drinks , tired , etc...) .....

--- thx alot for your reply --- anyone else?????? ------ how about thr physix thing???? i kno sli needs identical cards ...

No worries, I haven't tried it myself though.
