Do you mean another 7900 GT but made by a different person like Asus or somthing?
Or do you mean a whole different modle of card?
Cards from two separate retail companies will work together in SLI mode, but they must be the same GPU model (e.g. G70, G73, G80, etc). The cards may have different BIOS revisions, different default clock speeds, or even different memory sizes. However, the fastest card - or the card with more memory - will run at the speed of the slower card or disable its additional memory

Yes CPTMuller has hit it in the head.
You may have a 2x of XXXXXX 7900 GT's but you may not have two different cards like a 8800GTX and a 7950.. So what I am saying is the brand name does not matter but the MODEL does.
Just to hammer this home the model is the four digit number. and the brand name is who made it, the brand name for you is XFS, you may now buy another 7900GT from any store which may be a XFS, Asus or anyother brand..
