Chipset video card compatibilty

[Raknor]

Hey this is gonna sound like such a noobish question, but is it possible to use an ati graphics card on a nforce motherboard? Ive always assumed no but now that the 2900 is out and 3 times better than any nvidia i just thought i'd ask...

 

[peterhuang913]

it is possible

 

[Raknor]

not to run in crossfire on an sli mobo though right?

 

[peterhuang913]

depends if the chipset/mobo supports them
sli is not needed for general gaming though

 

[Raknor]

of course i understand just wondering if there would be issues with the chipset conflicting with the card....guess that shows how little i understand about chipsets lol thanks again

One last question, would a 500w psu be able to effectivly power a SAPPHIRE 100201 Radeon HD 2900 XT 512MB 512-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16?

 

[siddanth3]

well depends on the powersupply and how good it performs, but i would say yes. let me know what psu u have or what u r thinking of buying, so i can let u know

 

[peterhuang913]

@siddanth, what prescott do you have?

 

[siddanth3]

what do u mean what prescott
its a socket 775 at stock speed which is 3.0ghz. is HT too, if that helps

I bought my comp from velicity micro,because i didnt want the hassle of trouble shooting a custom job, the Psu just says velocity on it....
