Are all MSI NX7600GT's SLI compatible?

SoColdIvGoneNumb · 03-27-2007, 03:49 AM

I bought a MSI NX7600GT-VT2D256E when i built my computer over a year ago and now i'd like to upgrade to SLI but cannot find the exact same card anywhere online. It appears MSI upgraded the card not long after i purchased mine. My question is will any MSI NX7600GT's work or does it have to be the exact same card to work in SLI?

It will work as long as there both a 7600GT.

Yeah, unlike ATi, ALL chips that support sli are compatible, so there is no such thing as a non-sli-able 7600GT.

it doesn't matter what brand make it is as long as they both have the same GPU so like a ASUS 7600gt would work wif ur MSI 7600gt it doesn't matter if they have different amount of ram or whateva ... and i think all PCI-E cards all have sli ... well least i havent seen one without sli connection.

SLI seems to offer a good bit of leeway. I suppose something like a GT and GS combo wouldn't work, but different memory amounts are just fine.

I beleive all 7600's are SLI compatible in general. Can you not see an image of the card to look for the "goldfinger"?

Yeah its a SLI card, I sell alot of MSI cards, I still have one of the same model new in the box, plus my SLI setup is the same model, there the double slot cooler model.

All you have to do is find the "gold finger', if you have it, then you can sli it with a card that has the same chip.

Thanks for the information everyone! I'll prolly go with the Diamond Plus version since my motherboard's the same.
