Yeah, again, I realise that there still are NV chipsets out there but they're starting to get left behind now by the AMD chipsets. It won't take long before NV chipsets are either unviable or no more. I just find it frustrating that technically SLI on AMD chipset will work but you have to hack...

Wow, I didn't envisage starting a war here, so let's remember that there will be promotors and detractors for every technology or company. I'm just throwing a suggestion out here that NV are missing an opportunity. DRM is an a way evil but I get what NV are doing here with licensing etc and...

Hi nitromullet. A good point but there are probably a lot out there committed to AMD and although it would be great to have the fastest of everything, again a lot of people don't (or do they need to, even for gaming). Maybe Bulldozer will change the situation and view of gamers. Cheers, Beaky

Hi taltamir. I totally understand the principals that SLI only needs 2xPCIe x16 (or x8 capable) and that there's actually nothing technical stopping it from working. As you say, WHEN nvidia see a slump in sales due to the superior AMD chipsets, then again I agree that nvidia will probably (and...

Thanks Arkadrel. I realise the intel route is a good one but for now that means more expense than I'd prefer in order to move away from AMD, which BTW, I'm more than happy with for performance. This issue really is, if for example if my motherboard fails, I'm either stuck with a ageing nvidia...

Yeah, I agree this is an option on AMD chipsets provided it works but you're not going to know until you get an AMD board and try it. It not really an issue on intel boards but for nVidia, you'd think they'd remove the DRM so that SLI is an option on AMD.

Like many others, I have 2 x nvidia GPU's so don't fancy forking out to replace them if I move to an AMD chipset. Now I know there's a hack for this but I'm not convinced it always works. My thought is, if nvidia have stopped designing and producing chipsets, what's the future for their...

Unbeliveably, having used Anandtech for ages for reviews and great information, this is my first post! Anyway, what brought me to here was I'm looking for a replacement motherboard that supports SLI but I wanted something that was more up to date than the 980a, especially considering the nvidia...
