Hello, everyone.

I was wondering, can I run two-way SLI under Windows XP with two overclocked GTX 280 cards even if their clock speeds don’t match?

2 way GTX 280 will work, not sure about mis-matched speed though.
I would think they sync to the slowest speed. Worst case I'd think you get sync issues and you would want to manually downclock the faster card

Nvidia will match the clocks to the lowest speed card
