Video Card questions.

Post by kaharthemad »

Ok when I decked out my rig last year I bought a MSI platinum mobo with dual PCI-E and Audigy sound. the mobo is few good and I have no complaints except for one....


I myself (yeah yeah yeah Lyion dont start) am a ATI man. Nvidia lost my respect a while ago with a RMA problem and I have never bought from them since.

Anywho...the MOBO is a NVIDIA BIOS. What my question is will the Mobo take a ATI crossfire or will I need to changed over to a nividia?

If its a crossfire board, it will have an ATI chipset on the board. The 2 MSI motherboards that support crossfire are K9A Platinum and RD480 Neo2-FI. If you look at the motherboard itself, you will see the ATI logo. If you dont see an ATI logo on the board, its not crossfire.
