Possible to use this with ati?

[JaceAce32]

Dfi's new motherboards Ultra-D, Sli-D, and Sli-DR support this technology called

"Dual Xpress Graphics (DXG?) Technology"

it then says on the page that it works with any pci-e graphics cards...

can anyone try this with 2 ati x800 or x850's and let us know the benchmark's?

This can be the defining stand against expensive SLI CONFIGS that are fast... SLi 6600 is bullshit. :-D

Also:

reading http://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/Hardware/Reviews/dfinf4ultralp/2.html scroll down to the last 2 paragraphs after the karajan module.

to summarize: Yes nvidia has cracked down on the Sli-Hack which can't be done anymore. You can still change the lanes to be used as x8 x8. So basically in theory with the use of DXG technology and the jumper settings switched so the pci-e lanes run at x8 x8... ati can pretty much do it...

Btw, on that neoseeker article it says the jumper settings are silkscreened on the mobo near the jumpers

"The NForce4 chip supports 20 PCI Express lanes. These lanes can be assigned to the PCIe slots in two different ways.

The normal format has the following lane assignments

x1 x16 x1 x2

So, the second graphics slot (which has a PCIe 16 physical form factor) has just 2 PCIe lanes. Performance compared with the x16 slot is degraded

When you change the bank of jumpers on the board into "SLI" mode, it changes the lane assignments to

x4 x8 x0 x8

When you are using an SLI setup, this is the mode you would use but it does not mean this mode is actually specifically for SLI. So, whilst it is called "SLI" mode on the jumper settings, it really just changes the PCIe lane assigments. "
