Motherboard

[irfan88]

Hi,

Iam looking for a motherboard for an AM3 setup. I have two in my mind:

MSI NFMSI NF750-G55 (allows SLI)

and

MSI 870A FUZION (Allows Crossfire and also Fuzion technology for Non-Identical & Cross-Vender Multi-GPU Processing)



SLI is cool but I've just heard of the fuzion technology with hydra chips for allowing to use two different cards NVIDIA and ATI together (but iam also not sure if it would be helpful compared to that of SLI or crossfire).


Please suggest me one of these only.

Hello
I would recommend going with either SLI or CF support for now,because although Lucid allows you to use SLI and Crossfire on a same board,but it doesn't perform as well as SLI or CF simultaneously,because its still new and the driver support isn't very well.

ok so what to choose:

MSI NFMSI NF750-G55 (allows SLI) with a GTX 460 768 MB paired

or MSI 890GXM-G65 (allows crossfire) with a HD 5830 or HD 5770 paired to it

 

[Maziar]

Definitely the first one,dual GTX 460 is faster than both HD 5830/5770 CF

thanks for the help.

And please suggest me a power supply for a GTX 460 768MB for running in an SLI mode.

Corsair AX750 would be a good choice
