[hahabendover]

[exist09]

i find no real why you would wanna put an nvidia on an amd based mobo

[Sinmantul]

1 card nvidia yes!!

2 cards nvidia (SLI) no!!

2 cards only ATI crossfire

[82ndGhost]

[hootis8]

is there raid for this card

[gensisdestroyer]

what is betetr this board or the EVGA nForce 730a AM2+ ATX Motherboard

[jngtigmsmff]

Hello

I would say the Gigabyte GA-MA790X-DS4

Because the EVGA nForce 730a AM2+ ATX Motherboard only has 1 PCI - E 16x

[tretusen12]

When you use Crossfire, you get out 16x on both video cards? or are they one 16x & one 8x?

[VeEvey]

Both go 8x if you use Crossfire. Difference isn't big though, not with this generations cards anyway.

[tretusen12]

ok: P I bought the Asus M3A79-T Deluxe 790FX. Instead ^ ^

[tretusen12]

CrossfireX = "2 ati card"

Sli = "2 Geforce card"

[dylser4]

no CrossfireX is 2 ore MORE ATi cards (up to 4)

and SLI = Up to 3 NVIDIA cards

[tretusen12]

ye know , forgotten to write that , too lazy :P

[SpiTeZz]

@dylser4 i think he does mean the same. (:

[sklee000]

@dylser4

SLI = up to 4 NVIDIA cards for now and even back then=D

[dylser4]

@sklee000 yes now you can do 4 cards but it isnt supported officially

[spinydelta1]

Ive got this board, Im running a AMD Phenom x3 64 @2.1GHz with 6GB ram, great board,

[KickingPigeonz]

im gettn the exact same motherboard in about a month with 9600gt and phenom x4 :D do u reckn prices will go down by then?

[Tingawinga5]

no probs go up cos of economic down thingys

[KickingPigeonz]

lol yeah i just realised afew days ago when i checked the prices again for cpu's, graphic cards and everything.. it all went up by like 30bucks or so :( damnit

[Mad2k5]

could i put 2x 9600GTs and run them in SLI on this motherboard becuase im confused, it says its supports crossfire but thats ATI?

[Tingawinga5]

nope u can put one 9600gt but you cant use sli in a crossfire board unless u can hack the bios (which i wouldnt recomend btw) its a rival company thing ati has crossfire for graphics card and nvidia has sli

[Tingawinga5]

cool just bought this with a phenom x3 8450 is the board good and what r u running?

[dylser4]

yer its a great board, im running an amd 4000+ with 6gb ram in it and im hoping to get a phenom x4 soon

[Cri354]

And would it work on a GeForce 9800 GT 1GB DDR3 Ram? :D i just askin cuz i kinna make my own pc and i dont realy know much about stuff like that :|

[dylser4]

yep pretty much any pci-express card would work

[wispa1a]

Yes/No

You can put any PCIE GFX in but you want to ad ATI toget use of the crossfire otherwise your gonna be matching ATI/Nvidia and thats gonna botlekneck

[Cri354]

Do this motherboard suports ATi HD 3850?Plz reply :D

[dylser4]

yes it does i have an ati 3870 running fine in it

[wispa1a]

Works marvelous with all 3 series.

2 of the 38xx will hit a high benchmark on this mobo
