EVGA 2win: Doesn't work on non-sli board

[[XC] Synthetickiller]

Yep, that's right. I went over to EVGA's forum to do some reading on this card.

Unless your motherboard supports SLI, you cannot run this card. For a lot of us, this isn't a viable option.

I'm very disappointed. I wonder if this spells doom for the KFA2 and Galaxy 560x2 cards.

I know a lot of you guys weren't considering this card anywyas, but what do you guys think?

awww... that sucks! this is the main reason why i was looking foward to it. I also have that case you got (SG07), and was about to pull the trigger on that card. Glad i read your post.

I dont understand why you would need a sli board to run this card?? What am I missin here?

[lowfat]

If this is true then this card = FAIL. It won't sell worth a damn as there is zero reason to get it instead of two GTX460s.

You also can't SLI two 2wins, so what's the point of the card?

I'm hoping KFA2 and Galaxy will address this issue. The GTX295/590 will do SLI on non-SLI boards.....

EVGA, oh youv'e done it! Now you've really done. You've gone and fudged the bucket.... and told me too many words to know!

Edit:

I'm now going to refer to this card as the 2fail unless something changes.

If right
what the f are they thinking??
I always thuoght these stupid duel cards were just for that reason when you dont have an sli mb.

If Nf200 on da card
It should run on any board?

[Chrono Detector]

WTF EVGA, that sounds so retarded, so what happens if you plug it on a non SLI board? Will it boot up or will it just one GPU? Pretty stupid from EVGA really...

[RCG_Bex]

Very stupid. GTX295 dual PCB works fine on my Asus CHIV... May be worth trying it on a single slot Nvidia chipset and single slot AMD or Via chipset. Although I'm guessing you have...

[STEvil]

maybe the question was misunderstood?

thats all I can think of really.. thats almost as bad of a screwup as the overheating 570/590 VRM's..

[LedHed]

That makes no sense, the whole point of making this kind of card is giving a CF board SLI. If there is a NF200 chip on the card they are wrong.

As I keep following that thread, no one from EVGA has corrected any statements being made about the card. A few claim it's been forgotten about, whatever that means.

I hope this is a confusion and it will work. I'm confused as well. This makes no sense. Hopefully by the time it's released, there'll have reviews confirming or denying what people have discussed.

[Erdrick1980]

Stated here by Jacob of EVGA that you don't need an sli board for this card. http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?&m=901059&mpage=12

exactly what I figured, people spread more rumors on computer hardware than they did in High School.

That's funny coming from you considering the thread you started Here

I appologize to everyone. I read this on the EVGA forums. With no fix by any mod for while, I figured maybe there's something to it. That's why I sent the link...

As for the actual prodcut, newegg has it. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130626
$450!

Thanks but no thanks. I'll go another route, thanks! About $75 too much.

I read review and this card is not impressive

my 460 SLi is better

Well, ended up getting a reference Nvidia GTX 580 from the f/s thread in EVGA forums for really good price, if it were at least 375 buck i would have bought it. But other then that at least is good to know that it doesn't need SLI board.

that is not a rumor, it has a link directly to EVGA.com showing the title of the thread to be true.

Thats very silly whats the need for are SLI or nf200 on the board got to do with a Dual gpu card runnin by 1 pci-ex?? sounds like the card is got a cheap bios that is looking outside its own card to comunicate between gpu cores?? so then quite stupid as it suppost to be a solution for Non sli boards??!!
