Hey guys,

I was just thinking about buying a new GPU and going SLI with them (8800GTX if you want to know :p) and i was wondering if my motherboard supprted SLI or not.

My motherboard is a 'Asus P5B Deluxe'.

Is there a program that will tell me if my motherboard is SLI compatible or not?

Thanks in advanced for any help, i hope i can go SLI :D
 
In order to support SLI you have to have a motherboard with an Nvidia "SLI" chipset (e.g. "Nforce 680i SLI", or "Nforce 4 SLI").

No, just always thought the P5B ran Dual cards, just that they run at 8X not 16X. Learn something every day :D

It will run two ATI cards in Crossfire, but only because ATI allowed their drivers to work on Intel platforms. Nvidia won't do that.

Crossfire support does not equate to SLI support, SLI support does not equate to Crossfire support. They are not interchangeable, and right now (with the sole exception of Skulltrail, which is out of most of our price-ranges...) they are mutually exclusive.

SLI, or Crossfire, not both.
 
What? You mean there arent any new hacked drivers to get rid of such mutual exclusion?!? :rolleyes:
 
I heard Nvidia really came down on it and their drivers are tough to crack now after that 6XXX series SLI on Intel debacle (for Nvidia).
