Chaise Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Like the title says, if you have multiple graphics cards (no I don't mean interchanging brand {i.e. no NVIDIA and ATI}) and you do not connect them with SLI/Crossfire, what would happen? What are you limited to and it it a lot different then if you had their respective cables (or w/e those things are..)? ~~Chaise91~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldJoe Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 One card would be the one you are gaming on, and with Nvidia you could use the 2nd one to calculate physics. You can use the 2nd card for extra monitors also. For crossfire and SLI have a bridge linking the cards together to be used in CF/SLI mode with a CF/SLI compatible motherboard.

Dracion1 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Sorry, this is kind of thread hijacking, but could you use the Nvidia card for Physics if you had an ATI card?

Eh well. On Vista, it's a nono. On XP it is possible - BUT! You will spend quite some time having to fix some settings, it's a real pain in the [wagon] and i wouldn't recommend it as physics still ain't that big. I've read it at a forum before, but i don't have the link, i'm sure if you do some searching you'll find it.

Chaise Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 I see. Yeah I've known that having Crossfire/SLI will make games run smoother but just really wanted to know what would happen if there was no bridge. Thanks. ~~Chaise91~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
