SLI on a Gateway FX6000-01e/Intel i7-920 ?

ATI 4850 card in comp, and 1 crossfire bridge in box.

Can i run SLI Nvidia on this Motherboard ?

Think I found the info on Cnet, can some one confirm this info on Intel X58 chipset.

"The Gateway, however, has much more promise down the road. Unlike the Dell, the FX6800-01e has a second graphics card slot, letting you double its graphics horsepower.

Better, because the Intel X58 chipset support either ATI's CrossFire or Nvidia's SLI multi-3D card standards,
you have complete flexibility regarding the cards you use."

hmmmmm bummer.

Is there a way to test if the MB is SLI ready ?????

It WORKS .

Good news to all owners of this PC.

Got 2x 460GTX 1G MSI Cyclon in there and Nvidia control panel enabled SLI.

Stone Giant Benchmark up from 48 FPS 1x 460GTX in 1080p to

90 FPS 2x 460GTX in 1080p .

And thats missing the SLI Bridge.

It may not go up with it on, a MB with PCIe 2.0 but ill know in 10 days or so when i get it.

Glad you got it to work !!!

I am in same boat but can not get two gtx285 to do SLI on my FX6801. I can see both cards but no SLI is not on.
