Hi,

I feel kinda dumb asking this, but is it possible to have an Asus Radeon HD 3870X2 and a XFX GeForce 9800GX2 in a Crossfire motherboard; Asus P5E3 Deluxe/WIFI-AP?
If not, do anyone know of a motherboard that supports SLI and DDR3? I find only motherboards with SLI and DDR2 and not 3.

Thanks in advance,
Nymph.

For the first question, the answer is no, you can only crossfire ATi cards with ATi cards and respectively SLI NVIDIA cards with NVIDIA cards.

A crossfire mobo can only support crossfire (w/ ATi cards).

SLI & DDR3: NVIDIA just launched the 790i chipsets for SLI & DDR3 mobo.

Just saw a review 'bout that MB. Google'd: motherboard sli ddr3, and the 790i chipset came up. But it haven't arrived to Norway yet. So I just have to be patient and wait for it.

But thanks again!

Best regards,
Nymph.
