ATi and SLi

[str8lazy]

Does ATi support SLi? I dont really know, I have been looking around on the internet, but I always end up getting sidetracked... If anyone knows please fill me in. Thanks in advance.

ATI has their own technology called Crossfire.

 

[str8lazy]

oh.. ok.. I saw that but I didnt know what that was thanks.

Yeah, It's actually probably better than SLI 'cause you can mix cards.

 

[Dan DeVille]

Yeah, if you have an X800 you can use it with a X850 or X900. Not sure about X300, X600 or X700, but I don't see why not.

It is better, because ati's crossfire beat nVIDIA's current best benchmarks.

 

[GameGURU]

ATi always beats nVIDIA's benchmarks, but then on most games it turns around most of the time on ATi.

Also, doesn't crossfire use a checkerboard style instead of the 2 screen style, so both GPUS will have similar strain put on them?
