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...

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
