crossfire on nforce

[TC91]

i ve done a lot of reading on this topic, it really interests me as i have a 680i board, and i found a few interesting links. apparently crossfire could work on a 680i board (diamond brand cards only???) but im too sure right now, i havent really found anyone who has succesfully done it but the links speak for themselves.

im a bit tired of nvidia's driver support on my gts, so if this is indeed true i might have a new graphics card update path in the future.

Its been done sucessfully by HP.
In the Holiday 2007 issue of Maximum PC titled 2008 tech preview VOL 12, NO 12.

On page 80 they review a HP Blackbird 002 pc that uses an Nvidia Nforce 680i SLI mobo and two Ati Radeon HD 2900 cards.

Heres a quote from the review

In a ballsy move, HP adjusted Nvidia's 680i SLI bios to allow a pair of ATI Radeon 2900 XT cards to run in CrossFire mode - tweaking the noses of AMD and Nvidia in the process.

I remember thinking it wouldnt be long before someone picked that bios apart and we'd see hacked bios's all over the place.
But it never happened and i completely forgot about that review until i saw your post.

So, YEP, its possible.
