I know for fact there is an ATI mob with an ATI version of SLI being tested right now...with 2 x850XT PE even...MuHahahaha

Ummmm.....wow

makes me glad I waited until the market matured some before I upgraded to SLI.

Wait, I already have an SLi setup. 3dfx Voodoo 5 + 2x Voodoo 212mb

Well, the technology ATI is producing is not actually called SLI. It's actually called AMR, ATI Multi Rendering. The news has been out for awhile. I think some source said that AMR would be available in fourth quarter '05.

When that time comes, maybe it's time to upgrade with two X800 XL's.

I'm officially sticking with ATI.

I was told by "someone" that you can have 2 diffrent card also. x600Pro($200cnd), then later one add a x850xt(currenty $555) when they are cheap. That is an ability for furture upgrades that really kills the SLI if this is true

I seriously doubt that. The alternating frame technique talked about for ATI would prohibit it. Either that, or you could have serious shifting between the 2 frames running in 2 different cpus. Or your cheap card could be slow enough it would throttle your expensive one slower than it can go on its own...

I really doubt it, it's hard enough getting 2 of the same kind of processors to run together in sequence.

So will mobos lock into a GPU vendor? Or will dual PCIE mobos support both SLI and ATIs offering?
