Can a Nvidia card in a Crossfire board cause problem ?

that combination will work just fine. the only limitation you will have is that you wont be able to run a multi-gpu configuration(i.e. two 8800 GT's)

No, it will not cause problems.

It is just that you may not SLI on that Motherboard, only Crossfire, however running a Single GPU will not have any effect.

Your friend is a fkhead  

AKAIK, my board (asus P5B-D) is a xfire board. Im running an 8800GTS 320 with no dramas.

I cant run SLI. Thats the only limitation.

Yeah when he told me that at first I really tought he was bullshitting and looks like I was right  


Thx for the quick response !

You are correct. I have the 8800GTS G92 on my 975x board. No problems, runs like a champ. Some of those intel boards run better than nvidia boards as well. Granted you get what you pay for, just can't run SLI which is a bummer for future.

Do everyone a favor and punch your friend in the throat for suggesting such crap.

SLI = no go, but single nVidia GPU is ok
CrossFire = good

A Technician??? let me guess a "Helpdesk technician"....... maybe at Dell? HAHA  

I recently bought a Gigabte 790XT AMD mobo with crossfire support. I tried to use an older card, Gigabyte 9600GT, and i faced some severe problems:

1. While installing the drivers (the latest one from nvidia site) the pc freezed. After restart the drivers seemed to be installed correctly. However, after a second restart the drivers had gone but the graphics card was yet recognised as 9600GT. After many tries the drivers have installed and stayed there. But the whole systems freezes periodically and without reason , for example while browsing or while typing a text. Is there any idea about mobo-gpu compatibility?? Is there anything else i should try??  

regarding crossfire mobo, can we put 2 geforce cards on the mobo? 1 for graphic rendering and another one is for dedicated PhysX card?
