975xbx- SLI?

[themelonator13]

Intels website says that the two pci ex slots can be used for crossfire but they donts specifically say that the slots can be used for sli

I would be willing to belive that ati may have payed intel to say that however is there anyone out there who has a 975xbx and uses sli?

is there anyone out there who has a 975xbx and uses sli?

Click the link on my post. Theres also a hardware mod for nVidia non-SLI chipsets for mobos with 2 PCIe slots.

LMAO you see some idiotic conspiracy between ATI and Intel when really it's nVidia's fault: They've restricted their drivers, they've purposely broken SLI on Intel chipsets simply because they want you to buy nVidia chipsets.

It's possible with hacked forceware drivers, just check out the AW9D-MAX which comes with a SLI bridge... however, these are hacked drivers with no support so its your call on implementing it...

I guess the answer to your question is a yes, but be careful...

Edit: Changed to D... because the guy below me keeps complaining :tongue:

lol yeah that was pretty shameless from Abit... practical tough, but shameless.

I've been told that Asus are also shipping the P5WH Deluxe with a bridge ...

On the note of the bridge, anyone know where you can buy it? I never really looked for one but I suppose you can buy it from most e-tailers... right?

 

[rwaritsdario]

Alot of gfx cards come with it.

 

[Crashman]

I've never seen a card include a bridge. Certainly not the rigid bridges, since they need to be different depending on the spacing of the cards. I have seen photos of flexible bridges, but I've never seen one included with anything.

If I was nVidia, that last comment would have really hurt...

But all companies use patents to protect their interests... if they didn't then patent lawyers would all be out on the street =(

Look at Apple suing everyone using a pod moniker, or anything with "i" in it...
