a question for a friend:
what happens if you run 2 pci-e graphics cards that are not SLId with each other? my friend wants to put a his 7800GTX with an old X300SE of mine together. at the moment he is running the GTX alongside an old ATi 7000 card, and the drivers seem to run OK with each other.
i was of the belief that you had to turn the motherboard from not-SLI to SLI mode, and this would share the 16x lanes into 2x 8x lanes, and it would be expecting an SLI bridge to be present? he has a NF4 mobo.
