    If you have two cards running in sli full 16x support for both cards, does their memory add together or does the computer take advantage of just one cards memory?

    Example: 320mb + 320mb = 640mb or 320mb + 320mb = 320mb

    Thanks in advance!

    The memory adds up, but the power doesn't double. IIRC it just shares the power of one bandwidth between two cards.
    Like if you had a horse that could run up to 40MPH (just a random number, I'm clueless with horse speeds), adding another wouldn't allow them to run 80MPH. It just makes carrying the load easier.
