    The price of the one with Crysis is also higher. If you want the game for a relatively cheap price go with the bundle. If its not your type of game go with the one without it.

    As said, other than the game (and price) They are the same

    Doesn't really matter, since you can sli a gt with a gtx orany other combo as long as its in the same series.

    I don't think a gt with a gtx would work. They are two completely different cores.

    They can be of the same name (GTS) and one have 320mb and one have 640mb and sli them, but I don't think you could do it with a 640 and a new 512.

    Needs same name and core. Different speeds is ok, it will just run the overclocked card at the other cards rates.



    I think Crossfire is a little more lenient with using different cards, least thats what I've heard. But sli needs "essentially" the same cards...no huge differences.

    Just keep them the same. Why run a low end card with a high end card. You could also spend the extra 10 for another Crysis and sell it for a little more?
