SLI on X58 without nF200 Chip

[iadstudio]

Is that supposed to be funny? I sure as hell wouldn't pay it. It's a different world now with AMD becoming so badass, born-again-hard. Nvidia now has some real competition in GPU-land. So they just can't pull that kind of crap anymore. Of far as I'm concerned SLI is already dead in the water with the availability of cards like the 4870x2. Maybe this move will help revive it. Why would I pay even an extra $20 for SLI support whether there is an extra silicon space heater onboard or not? To hell with that. F U Nvidia for ever having limited SLI to your own chipsets in the first place. Jerks.

Ha. Well said.

I know SLI would be possible on the x38, but not readily enabled by nVidia and not easily hacked anytime soon. Apple and nVidia are both jacka$$'s for pulling the crap they do. Only reason I have nVidia right now is because it was the best quick fix at the time, but I can promise you that I will NEVER use nVidia for multi gpu solution unless it's on an Intel platform.

I see where the brand equity BS comes into play with nVidia, but as long as they have AMD going head-to-head w/ them on performance, their brand isn't worth crap unless they are the performance king.

This coudl be the only reason I end up with nVidia. Also the reason I puked a little bit in my mouth when they bought Ageia.

It uses OpenGL (has nothing to do with GPGPU), AMD demoed it on the Radeons (http://techreport.com/articles.x/14990/16). I'm gonna correct everyone until the the record's right.
