I am buying a Sapphire Atlantis Radeon 9800 PRO 128 MB DDR 8x AGP DVi & TV-Out with A7N8X Deluxe SKT A NForce2 Chipset VER 2.0 Motherboard.

My question is since the motherboard is using a Nvidia chipset I want to make sure that people have not found any problems with it. Due to it being a ATI graphics card.

I have been running an ati card on an nforce board for over a month no problems. There was some concern when the boards first came out, but that turned out to be no big thing. Great combo enjoy.

I'm currently using Sapphire Atlantis Radeon 9500 Pro on Asus A7N8X Deluxe with no problems so you don't have to worry about anything. My only suggestion for you is using the drivers found on the CD for the motherboard (don't download any drivers from Nvidia's website) and download the latest Catalyst drivers for your Radeon from ATI's website.

P.S. Damn I want the 9800P too! :smile:

Don't be afraid, the only person on Earth has problem with ATI card on nForce2 is Mr.H********* and he has been disapppeared.
Wait... are you going to be an ATI fanboy? If you are, never get nForce2 because ATI fanboyz don't want any stinking nVidia product in their system.

It is morally wrong to allow suckers to keep their money

I just recommend a fresh install of windoze to avoid as many issues as possible.

Buy the 9800 and send it to me. I will test it for you.

It works fine together i have them both if you can afford it i highly recommend 1.5 gigs of memory as well.
but do the 2700/333 version not the 3200/ddr400 as the memory is still
screwing up bad and you will get alot of annoying problems with the 3200/ddr 400 memory installed.
