well yes if you looked at it one way it wuld be a gig of video memory, but i dont think it performs like that. it just performs like to kick ass cards with 512mb of video memory.

i doubt that somehow... lol i mean why would they prevent you from getting the performance out of the extra ram that you bought.

Sli
When you use SLI it is the same as what it is with just one card. BUT, When you use SLI it takes half of a frame from each card and puts it together to improve proformance. So, yes, I guess you can say it doubles.

SLI mirrors the memory, if you have 2x 256MB cards then you still only have 256MB of memory, not 512MB.
