im not really sure bout that..ya,now i realized that the card does not connected..
but is the any differences..?i mean in performance.
but is the any differences..?i mean in performance.
as long as they are from the same family then ok kua..
eg.
XFX 7600GT n Giga 7600GT..
can SLi
eg.
XFX 7600GT n Giga 7600GT..

Dude,what if the card is the same family,but the clock is different,can still sli o not..?
Possible. However, the clock from the higher card should automatically be lowered to match with the other card, improving stability.
1 more question dude,how about the SLI bridge..? can use any brand..? Will the bridge sit in the same position,even it mixed vendor..?
SLI bridge doesn't matter what brand/make you use. As long as you have a proper bridge. AFAIK, there are a few types of SLI bridge which depends on the spacing between the two PCI-E x16 slots.
1. Short PCB SLI bridge
2. Long PCB SLI bridge
3. Flexible PCB SLI bridge
Usually 7900GS from Brand A and 7900GS from Brand B has the SLI link connectors in standard position on the graphics card as most of them use the reference PCB design. However, there could be some issues when matching up two 7900GS with different PCB layout.

Thats what im afraid of..Positions of the sli connector..
Do you think Gigabyte 7600gt silent pipe 2,can match with xfx 7600gt..?

Well, I cant be sure about this. In fact, manufacturers themselves sometimes change the PCB version from time to time.
To be exactly sure, you should measure the distance between the SLI Link to the metal bracket on the two graphics cards before purchasing.

yes.. SLi can be activated with Gigabyte 7600gt silent pipe 2,xfx 7600gt..
i've tested it.. mine XFX 7600GT is the XXX version.. so when i made it in SLi.. the XFX will auto downclock itself to match wif the Giga.
