SLI or CrossfireNvidia - SLI ( Scalable Link Interface )AMD/ATi - CrossFireSLI and CrossFire
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.
NO Crossfire and SLI must both be the same graphic card
For ATI GPUs, it's called CrossFireX. For NVIDIA GPUs, it's called SLI. More info check related links below.
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).
Nvidia and AMD use different systems to link 2 or more GPUs together. Nvidia use SLI and AMD use CrossFire, they both do essentially the same thing. But not all motherboards support both SLI and CrossFire, some just support one of them, and not all motherboards support SLI or CrossFire with more than 2 GPUs.
No. It uses an AMD chipset. AMD owns ATI, NVIDIA's competitor, therefore, it can only run Crossfire, not SLI.
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.
SLI and Crossfire
Yes sli and crossfire.
To anyone that has read the original answer to this. NO you can not sli two different cards. Only amd crossfire can do that within families. Sli works in a way that it has to be the same exact card to work properly, that is why motherboards are harder to find for sli.
