hey guys,
So I am building a stupid rediculous system for a friend.. I have picked up the 790FX mobo from gigabyte. thinking about going the 2 3870x2 cards in Crossfire X setup.

Now my question is this, will this board be able to run an SLI setup also? even tho its an AMD/ATI chipset. In theory I think it will be able to run Nvidia products in a multi GPU configuration.

what do you think, has anyone else run Nvidia cards in SLI on a ATI chipset? let me know..

cause knowing this will solidify which route im going to go w/ this crazy rig.


thanks in advance.

It wont run Nvidia at SLI but may run single Nvidia card onlyl. SLI is exclusive to Nvidia chipset only while CrossifireX is available at Intel and AMD chipsets.
