SLI possible with "odd" boards?

[Lawton]

Hey. I have two Diamond Monster3d II cards. The problem is that one is a 12mb version and the other is an 8mb version. Any way I can SLI the two of them? Or do I need to find another one identical to one or the other. Responses are appreciated!

u can use them in a SLI-config. but ur 12mb-card becomes a 8mb-card ;
i think thats all...

[Maverick]

by the way...its only a driver problem to use two different V2's

In case you can't get your drivers to recognize SLI mode using the 12MB and 8MB cards, try these alternate drivers:

So using 2 different 12mb. or 8mb. is possible?
Like say my orchid 12mb. and a 12mb. non-orchid card?

Maverick,

When you say using 2 different V2's is only a driver problem, do you mean that you can use V2's from 2 different manufacturers in SLI mode if you use, say, the 3dfx reference drivers?

I had the same question with my creative labs
card, I want to buy another card and was curious if I had to buy the same one, I have an 8 meg card now and would like to know if I bought a 12 meg card would I get the total of 20 megs of usage??? and could I SLI them together? or would I have to buy another 8 meg card?

I'm pretty sure they both have to have the same amount of memory, but I'm not sure if they have to be from the same manufacturer.
