Hey guys,

I currently have an EVGA GTX 570 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130593) and I'm receiving a few issues when trying to max out my graphics on a video game I've recently started playing (Guild Wars 2). I wanted to ask if it would be a good idea for me to buy a second GTX 570 and dual boot them which I believe is also called SLI (not too familiar with this.) If I were to SLI my 570 linked up above would I be able to SLI it with a different model of the same card? (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004EYSMGW/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=wwtxnrco-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399369&creativeASIN=B004EYSMGW\%22%3EEVGA%20GeForce%20GTX%20570%20Superclocked%201280%20MB%20GDDR5%20PCI%20Express%202.0%202DVI/Mini-HDMI%20SLI%20Ready%20Graphics%20Card%20012-P3-1572-AR%3C/a%3E%3Cimg%20src=\%22http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=wwtxnrco-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B004EYSMGW&camp=217145&creative=399369\%22%20width=\%221\%22%20height=\%221\%22%20border=\%220\%22%20alt=\%22\%22%20style=\%22border:none%20!important;%20margin:0px%20!important😉 <--- now that's what I call a link O.O also maybe you guys recommend me a better idea? I was told that it must be the same exact card you originally have inside your computer.
 


I have an I7 3770K, I removed all nvidia drivers from my registry and installed the newest one at nvidia's website. Would there be any suggestions that may be the fix?
