Why do motherboard makers continue to advertise SLI support when nvidia officially ended multi gpu support a few years ago?

In. My day. We could run 3x video cards! But not now.

Ripping hair out my head trying to get PCIe graphics cards to run at full x16 speed

Your motherboard probably won't allow it. Maybe? Like they said. You should just do it at 8x instead of 16x pcie

What's my best option for a 4x pci-e physx card. right now! quick!! thanks

I just bought a GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) FPB EE 1GB card. it's going to be the third card in my system, next to two GTX 580 EVGA vanilla. is this going to work well as a physx setup? yes, I understand that physx isn't perfect.. but lets not get into that. not now!! I think I like this 460...

P67 mobo - ASRock or Gigabyte?

ANYWAYS... after reading that article, and taking note that INDEED, there is a noticeable difference between 16x/16x and 8x/8x when we are talking about gaming at EXTREMELY high resolution on a triple-monitor NVIDIA Surround setup.......... well, in that case, you get almost a 10% loss in...

P67 mobo - ASRock or Gigabyte?

Ya, sure, I believe it! I figure, some games will be best on one screen.. some will rock out on all 3! I look forward, especially to my favorite RTS games - starcraft 2, spread out on 3 screens, I love it :) :P the most productive use of the three monitor setup will be for my production...

P67 mobo - ASRock or Gigabyte?

Ok , hm.. well, let's say that I just stick to the 2 x gtx 580 right now and in the future. because I would imagine that this is PLENTY of horsepower in the most important parts (cpu, ram , motherboard, video cards). as i understand it - having two cards at 8x/8x isn't particularly wasteful...

P67 mobo - ASRock or Gigabyte?

I didn't mean to be so obtrusive. I was just playing. I'm happy to have a top of the line rig again.. and btw, I did some more research into the prospect of triple-SLI and I came to the same conclusion as you: it's not worth it, even if I had the money to do it because the 3rd PCI-E won't even...

P67 mobo - ASRock or Gigabyte?

Ya Ya, Blah blah, SLI is a ripoff. It's not efficient enough. life isn't perfect. the world aint fair. but my rig is a lot faster than yours!! lets write that part in stone right now I have 3 identical 28" Hanns-g 3ms monitors. I'm gonna run nvidia's surround gaming setup... no, they don't...

Is it worth putting a PhysX-dedicated card into a PCI-e 8x slot?

Darn! I coulda sworn I had one 8x. back when I bought it I had absolutely no plan on ever doing SLi... here I am 2 years later and, oh well... it's not like this system setup is slow at all. thing is, when it does start to age... I'll have to replace the whole setup, mobo/ram/cpu. and that's...

Is it worth putting a PhysX-dedicated card into a PCI-e 8x slot?

I've read here and other places that while my single 16x PCI2.0 slot is obviously faster than the other 8x slot right next to it in my system........... it sounds like the speed difference isn't as much as I was thinking? originally, when I replaced my 9800gx2 with an EVGA 480 superclock+, I...

New Mafia II PhysX ON/OFF video.

AMD fans are green with envy. hahaha I don't think this is up for debate!! look how many pages of posts there are about the smallest little details of how nvidia is implementing their new physx feature! I've never seen such ardent fanboy-ism on both sides but holy cow I could count 50...

32 bit is no longer valid

i've been running Vista x64 for almost a year now - i won't say "flawlessly" - but i certainly have been able to find a workaround for most of my issues. And, by now............ in 2008, I would certainly hope that we get lots more software developers developing their platforms specifically for...

agp vs. pci-e for video editing: big difference?

It seems like most of the problems have been resolved here. If you have a PCI-e slot, you gotta get a pci-e card. and I think it's a darned waste of money to buy a card that's several years old............ In general, you guys do have the requirements for video editing figured out: CPU, then...
