Forum Graphics & Displays : Graphics Cards Buying a gamming pc

Hello, i am ordering a pc from cyperpower. i have a missunderstanding about the video card because i have chosen AMD Phenom™ II X6 1100T the motherboard has 2 options sli and crossfire ready. the website allows me to chose radeon graphic cards even when i chose the sli configuration..? i am buying 2X radeon 6950 2gb cards and would like to put them in crossfire configuration but the motherboards for crossfire says it dosent suport 2nd or more graphics cards...

For gaming I suggest that you go with Intel I5 2500K rather than the 1100T! http://www.tomshardware.com/review [...] 971-4.html

I echo what rolli has to say, but to your original question, the SLI mobo they have listed *does not* support Crossfire; it uses the 980a northbridge which is an Nvidia dual card only chip(I run that northbridge as well). Obviously you can run any single card you please on it or hack it at your own risk/peril. It looks like all of the boards that they have listed as supporting Crossfire do support Crossfire, i.e. have at least two pci-e slots and will recognize both of the cards. In addition and for what it's worth, some of the Crossfire boards support SLI as well. Did you have questions on a specific board?
