Yes, we all trust you tyvm for your opinion, even after all that bull last year. Personally, I think this is a great move, but on the other hand, is it a sign from AMD (or the related parties) that Fermi is finally a worthy competitor of AMD's graphics division?

xBruce88x · Mar 31, 2011

its about time

this is good news indeed... my local computer guy who only deals in AMD stuff will finally have some SLI boards

of course i also have the option of driving to tigerdirect's warehouse

either way its good news

Only that this isn't my opinion. It's news with proper citations.

Last time we had W1zzard himself, one of the most respected members of the tech community, offering proof. Who knows what you guys are capable of?

I do not frequent VR-Zone, but I think they are trustworthy. After all, Nvidia stands to gain both market share and penetration to AMD based systems, they have nothing to lose from this.

wow, if bulldozer performs as stated it may just be my next setup then. Seems like amd is firing back in a big way. very welcome news.

Yay, I could finally upgrade from my nForce 570 when AM3+ is here!

Aww nuts, I gotta buy new everything...

I am taking this as a sign that Bulldozer will be a VERY good chip, otherwise NV wouldn't be willing to do this.

LMFAO!!!!!! :toast:

It's about time. They should've been doing this from the 7 series chipsets.

Melvis · Apr 1, 2011

Ahhh this sounds like the 939 days all over again

No, not necessarily, though I hope so. Notice that Nvidia has no Bulldozer chipsets planned, it's just licensing out the technology to use SLI, and only to vendors who already had it with Intel chips. This is a no-loss move; if Bulldozer flops, Nvidia doesn't lose any money; if it is a big success, they make a lot of money.

One would certainly hope so.

Not really, as the nVidia chipsets were better back then. Now the AMD (ATI) chipsets are the king of the hill.

Yes that is very true, i have a few here kicking still.

I meant it more like yay we get SLi back on AMD boards like back in the 939 days, its rare to find them at the moment.

Patriot · Apr 1, 2011

...honestly... I think this is because nvidia doesn't want to be out in the cold if AMD comes out on top of this gen...

However... I think nvidia should have to pay to be on amd boards not the other way around. If you want to open that section of the market for people to buy more than one of your cards they should not be paying you... you should have to invest to get that possibility...

I see this as a board option per vendor... I have a hard time seeing amd as wanting to put nvidia on their boards...

It is strange that it has taken so long for AMD and nVidia to get this going . I hope it is a good strong platform but I wouldn't be putting to much stock in this . Intel has a big lead in this area with the advent of both crossfire and SLI platforms on ONE MB . I only hope that AMD will be able to have this as well . With "Bulldozer" coming out soon it would be in nVidias best interest to get into this , If they do not this will cripple nVidia a great deal . This is one reason Intel looks good to so many , AMD needs to get with the program !

Nvidia still had chipsets, alltho they are crap, but they still had them.

H82LUZ73 · Apr 1, 2011

this was the last nvidia sli AMD mobo (i say it because the 980a chip-set was the last and ASUS only made it)http://www.motherboardpro.com/ASUS-M4N82-Deluxe-Socket-AM2-AM3-AMD-NVIDIA-nForce-980a-SLI-ATX-Motherboard-Retail-p-1303.html

That is a good 3-4 years now.And the Intel partners would include

Gigabyte(will go with them if there boards look as good as the p67 ud7)

ASUS
MSI

which covers the big three :rockout:

"It won't offer nForce 200 bridge chips." So, how is it going to work? I think similar to hack SLi, only licensed.

theubersmurf · Apr 1, 2011

I hope none of you actually bought this. The headline "hell freezes over" would sound more credible.

crazyeyesreaper · Apr 1, 2011

meh i dont care but if it drives up the price on a 990fx board because of SLI, ill have to switch to a different brand as i wont pay more for a feature i dont need, looks like ill have to look into second and third tier mobo manufacturers and see if i can find some gems, as i wont pay mark up due to sli, bad enough with the price hikes due to mother nature being a bitch, but that lic costs also mean higher board costs. so ill wait and see how this turns out. Its great for those that want SLI on an AMD system, but other then that it looks like AMD mobos just got a bit more expensive.

The same as the Intel boards where the sli driver is reading it,As for AMD the sli drivers will not load because Nvidia blocks it.If say ASUS pays the $5 certification Nvidia will allow the drivers on the 990fx chip.
