With GTX780-3GD5 no more manufactured, can I buy an equivalent card for SLI ?

Hello

I have a GTX780-3GD5 first version without stock overclock but unfortunately it is hard to find today so I was wondering if I want to make it part of a SLI what requirements for the second card

I guess I need:

+ same model GTX780 (no GTX780 Ti or below)
+ same memory type GDDR5
+ same cuda cores 2304
+ same memory amount 3072MB

If you can confirm, also I'm not sure if the stock clocks matters

? near same stock memory clock ?
? near same stock gpu clock ?
? number of fans ?
? Does brand matter ? will a EVGA live fine near a Asus ?

? Anything else I could forget ?

Thanks for the informations guys I'm planning my first SLI

Note: My GTX780-3GD5 overclock

Default clock: 863 Mhz Memory: 1502 Mhz Boost: 902 MHz
New clock: 1032 Mhz Memory: 1852 Mhz Boost: 1071 MHz


Thinking in buying EVGA 03G-P4-2781 let me know if there is better

A few months back, I searched answers about this subject on the web. Back then the question was, if it's possible to be able to run two refrence GTX Titans from different manufacturers in SLI. As I can remember, it is possible on refrence cards ;). I can't tell for sure if it's flawlessly working with different vBios or if you will have to flash one of the cards with the vBios of the other card. :confused:;)

Above is all you need to match, as I understand it. To be safe you might ask the same question at the EVGA forum since that's the card you're considering.

Bios's don't have to be the same when running SLI. It can be a different brand and different clock speed but the above 4 have to match.

You can't run a 780 with a 780ti they have different core counts.
