I have a gtx 285 FTW 2gb and i was wondering if i could sli it with a non ftw 2gb gtx 285. I'm also wondering if a gtx 285 1gb can sli with a gtx 285 2gb FTW. Other than that i'm pretty sure the manufacturer doesnt matter right?

You should be able to..Only hitch will be that if you SLI the 2GB one with the 1GB one, you will probably only get to use 1GB on that 2GB card due to the 1GB card in SLI(also if the 1GB has slower gpu speed, the faster one of the 2 will be forced to lower the clock to the other card's specs)...honestly there wont be much difference either way performance wise but I'd stick another 2GB card in instead of 1GB.. Manufacturer no longer matters since the 180 driver release.
