Does SLI require a differant driver than a single card? How do I enable SLI once I have installed both cards? Can the two cards be overclocked a little bit once in SLI? Is a Corsair 850w power supply good enough for 2 GTX 560's (not ti)ked a little bit (also running a i5 2500k, overclocked to 4.1, an HDD, SSD, and a separate soun card)
 
850w is overkill for that, 2 560's in that could run off of 700 easy really, 560ti's we normally recomend a 750 which gives you head room. but i think you will need a different driver, and overclocking wouldn't be smart on them, one card will be blocking the other's airflow and that other card will get hot as hell stock, co overclocking might cause some damage.
 
I think you have to reinstall the driver, but its the same driver. At least the update notes on most of the drivers list sli improvments.
 
you should be fine.

Overclocking will be ok as long as you keep an eye on the temps of the top card. As long as it dont get too hot, then you are golden. With SLI, I definately would not bump voltages at all.
