Sorry to sound lame, but I was under the impression that a motherboard that is made for an ATI crossfire setup could not be used for a NVIDIA SLI setup, but I keep running into people saying that you can do either on various PC forums. What is the truth?SLI / Crossfire mobo??
How can no one be willing to answer this question??? This is the pc hardware forum? :?SLI / Crossfire mobo??
You can run one of either ATI or Nvidia cards on either borad, but two ATI cards can be run only on a Crossfire board and two Nvidia cards can run on a SLI board.
You can, but you have to hack it.
the up comming x38 boards will allow full SLI and full xFire
[QUOTE=''-SaI'']the up comming x38 boards will allow full SLI and full xFire[/QUOTE]Oh really? Do you have a source for that?
Neither Intel nor NVIDIA have have admitted to having SLi on X38. If it did, it would be a marketing suicide for NVIDIA's nForce business. Meanwhile, AMD/ATi is happy for anyone to employ CrossFire on their platform.EDIT: SLi can only be run on nForce platforms, CrossFire can only be run on its respective platforms (975X and other ATi chipsets). You can run either SLI/CF on the other's platform, but you'll need hacked drivers, which usually incur some sort of performance penalty (since niether NVIDIA/ATi design drivers for the opposing platform).
Another push into the rumor is PC Gamer listing in their Hard Stuff Dream System as their mobo Intel D975XBX2 and their graphics cards as (2) Geforce 8800 Ultra 768MB
