714601 2008-10-25 03:29:00 Ok, I have a question about a motherboard and gfx.
Looking at getting this (www.computerlounge.co.nz) motherboard and I supports ATI Crossfire.
woot - i don't care.
But what I am wondering is, will it support a single gtx260 or gtx280?

From my reading around I am getting mixed opinions of 'it will work' and 'it doesn't work' so was wondering if anyone here know for a fact if it will/won't work.

Cheers.

Hi, yes, PCIe 2.0. Single GPUs from either ATI or NV. However, only dual ATI cards can be used not NV SLI.

I figured this would be the answer but just wanted to confirm it I guess :)

Sweet - let the building begin :clap

Simple as that.

714609 2008-10-25 05:34:00 supports ATI Crossfire.

But will it support a single?


Of course it will. Crossfire, SLI, whatever, you can put any graphics card in it, its only when you want two cards it becomes an issue.

714610 2008-10-25 05:49:00 yep thanks guys, like I said, I was pretty sure that this would work, but when you're shelling out the hard earned $$ it pays to be sure :o Bozo (8540)
