Two PCI-E X16 Slots
500 watt or greater power supply
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.
SLI is not in the graphics card SLI is running two or more of the same graphics cards at the same time to increase the performance but you need a power supply and a motherboard that supports it

SLI stands for Scalable Link Interface, and is an nVidia technology that allows two or more of the same graphics card to run in parallel, thus giving a performance increase.
It is for connecting two identical graphics cards, if you have one graphics card you dont need it.
SLI is new technology that allows you to scale graphics performance.
NForce 590 sli motherboard will work with such card as far as it has an appropriate port (PCI-E).
SLI-ready means that you can run two of that same type of card together in one computer, giving you a performance boost, and spreading the load between the two cards.
I would recommend at least 500W!!!
A SLI video card is a video card that allows you to insert more than 2 graphics cards into your computer. It supports up to 4 of the same GPU's running at the same time. SLI was developed by 3DFX in 1997 for use with their graphics card the Voodoo2 but after the company was defuncted nVidia acquired the rights to use this technology. There is also CrossFireX which was developed by ATI.
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.
No. It uses an AMD chipset. AMD owns ATI, NVIDIA's competitor, therefore, it can only run Crossfire, not SLI.
