I hate advertising. This is another example of how companies try to prey on the unknowing and get sales.

So is Xfire. I'm not a fan of multi GPU's linked in different slots right now. I don't know how cards that have two GPU's on the same card perform compared to SLI or Xfire, but multi GPU isn't exactly something that I had no problems with. One time I simply started up my computer and a pop up came from the task tray saying that my video cards weren't connected by an SLI connecter. They were. Restarted and everything was back to normal.:confused: One card, is always much more simple and therefore, less things can go wrong.

But yeah, SLI ready ram is just plain stupid.

They might aswell point out to us that everything is WINDOWS READY. Or Personal Computer Ready.

It's probably just a way of letting off their tech support team.

User- My SLI isn't working, I've got an SLi ready motherboard, gfx cards, connectors, and Windows XP with latest nvidia drivers. What's wrong?
Techie- AH, but do you have SLi ready memory?
User- WTFSTFU that's irrelevant marketing bollocks
Techie- So you don't have Sli ready memory?
User- No, but that's not...
Techie- We look forward to helping you when you have SLi ready memory. Good day.
User- YOU FüKING PIECE OF
<Dial tone>..............</Dial tone>

now for a serious one: SLI ready games. games that are designed to run at SLI with vsync without the performance hit.

NVIDIA lists Corsair first, but they list a lot of other RAM makers as well...

Even when you look at that list, Corsair is the only brand name they have, with the exception of Kingston. Everything else, such as Micron, Infineon, Samsung, are just the chips that companies like Corsair, OCZ, and Mushkin uses.
