Can I run two Radeons on an sli board with an Nvidia bridge or does it have to be a Crossfire mb ?? I ask because I can't seem to find any nice Crossfire mb's. Thanks _________________ Author sCaryDeth Post Ho Joined: 21 Oct 2005 Posts: 3218 Back to top Message Posted: Mon Nov 12, 2007 6:46 pm    Post subject: Crossfire and SLi are incompatible.

Seriously... That would kind of be counter productive wouldn't it be considering they own the SLI tech. _________________ Author {uZa}Studdog +SC+ Post Ho Joined: 25 Oct 2006 Posts: 1351 Back to top Message Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2007 6:25 am    Post subject: Re: dual card question.... {uZa}Dellis wrote: I ask because I can't seem to find any nice Crossfire mb's.

That's pretty much what I figured as I couldn't find any reviews on an nvidia mb where someone posted they were running ATI cards. The ATI cards seem to be a bigger bang for the buck so I started to question my original computer upgrade.

I beg to differ... Since the release of the 8800GT, Nvidia has the better bang for the buck. If you read any reviews, the results show this card on the heals of the 8800GTX and typically faster than the current 8800GTS 640mb model. And the GT is less than both of these cards. In fact the top of the line ATI card the 2900XT is greater than $400, and the 8800GT typically beats that. So if bang for buck is what you're looking for stop no further, the 8800GT is the way to go! In fact their so hot, stores are having trouble keeping them in stock! _________________ Author {uZa}DeathByMunky Post Ho Joined: 21 Oct 2005 Posts: 3015 Back to top Message Posted: Wed Nov 14, 2007 4:40 pm    Post subject: {uZa}CrazySpinner wrote: {uZa}Dellis wrote: The ATI cards seem to be a bigger bang for the buck so I started to question my original computer upgrade.

After a lot of research, I could find nothing better as far as price and power than the 8800GT. You should definately keep your eye out for one. _________________ Author {uZa}Dellis Post Ho Joined: 21 Oct 2005 Posts: 1142 Back to top Message Posted: Wed Nov 14, 2007 5:35 pm    Post subject: There are no GT's left on planet earth!
