In desperate need of an PC update and would prefer to stick with AMD processors.

I bought an NVIDIA 260 graphics card a while back and I have no interest in running SLI nor Crossfire.

However, I am brand loyal and would prefer to stay with AMD processors.

So the big question is and cut to the chase..

Will my graphics card still work with a board that has Crossfire support?

TIA

Been running a EVGA GTX 260 for 10 months on an ASUS CF board, no problem.

yea, the only compatibility issues are when you want to run crossfire or SLI, single cards will work fine either way, even a Dual GPU card that has 2 GPU's on one card should work on a crossfire board.
