yes you can but it does have to have a hack to do so if the look on YouTube there is a video that will show you hears the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHK4IgRqyZQ
Yes you can use an ati video card in a sli motherboard, however you cannot put two ati graphics cards in that motherboard and run them in sli. As far as putting one in and just running it single your ok. You would need a motherboard that supports Crossfire to run two ati graphics cards together.
No. It uses an AMD chipset. AMD owns ATI, NVIDIA's competitor, therefore, it can only run Crossfire, not SLI.
Yes, if you are referring on putting two 295 gtx on a crossfire motherboard, but you can get an equivalent by doing SLI on Nvidia motherboards, simply that NVIDIA = SLI while ATI = crossfire.
SLI or CrossfireNvidia - SLI ( Scalable Link Interface )AMD/ATi - CrossFireSLI and CrossFire
Yes, check to make sure who makes the card. Such as Nvidia or ATI. Then check to see if your motherboard is [nvidia]SLI or [ati]CROSSFIRE compatible. For SLI you need 2 of the same video cards, ATI doesnt have to be the same. www.nvidia.com www.ati.com they should have helpful information on how to install there products.
Download CPU-Z and then run. On the motherboard tab, you can use those info for searching the web if that particular product (Mobo) is SLI or maybe Crossfire compatible.
No. Motherboards NEVER support BOTH SLI and CrossFire. Usually one OR the other. Mostly because NVIDIA created and uses SLI and AMD (Which owns ATI) created and uses CrossFire. You'll have to check which your specific motherboard supports.Both SLI and CrossFire do the same thing and they work the exact same way. They both allow Graphics cards to work together.This accepting one computer program or idea but not others is what I like to call warism (ware-ism).
Scalable Link Interface (SLI) - by Nvidia Crossfire - By ATI
For ATI GPUs, it's called CrossFireX. For NVIDIA GPUs, it's called SLI. More info check related links below.
NVDIA SLI and ATI crossfire
Yes sli and crossfire.
The most advanced consumer video cards are the nVidia GeForce GTX295 and the ATi Radeon HD 5970. Most gaming computers will run two of these in SLi (nVidia) or CrossFire (ATi) format, with two on one computer, or even four linked together for dual-SLi.
