    If I got two of the same cards, but from different vendors, will they be able to run in a sli setup?

    I've seen it work in the past, but I've also read an article from PC Powerplay Magazine that tried it and ended up frying one of the cards.

    Your best bet is to contact the manufacturer(s) and ask them directly. It's not work the risk imo.
