Hi all, got a question reg. video cards.

I purchased a Gainward GTX 560 2gb, but would like to add another one - but the Gainward is sold out. Would a GTX 560 2gb of any other brand be ok, or should I calm down and wait till the Gainward is available?

Thanks for the help!

it's a matter of taste to have identical cards, but technically every brand should do it...
The obvious is that which is never seen until someone expresses it simply

1x i7 2600K @5.0 (Asrock Z77), 16GB, 2x Asus GTX Titan 6GB @1200/3100/6200
2x i7 2600K @4.5 (P8Z68 -V P), 12GB, 1x EVGA GTX 580 3GB @0900/2200/4400

Just make sure you get a card equipped with as much (or more) memory as your other two cards
. . . the card with the lowest amount of available VRAM sets the memory ceiling for the others
