Mismatched Video cards on SLI board?
so, as i understaind i can mix two cards like my 260gtx and me ol 7900gs, the question is, would it be worth it?
i know they wont run in sli mode but it would take some of the physics calculations or something...
also i would plan on doing this on a Asus p5q turbo pro (xfire board)
but this guy: http://www.overclock.net/nvidia/6344...-asus-p5q.html
says it can be done? what do ya's think?

cant be done on xfire board. But if you SLI a 260gtx and a 7900gs it will just downgrade to the 7900gs specifications. might as well just use the 260gtx alone
