Would a crossfire compatible motherboard work with SLI as well?

From what I know no.


SLI is proprietary so i don't think it would work.

Damn 'cause the store i'mm getting it from has 1 cheapish M/B with SLi but it has slow RAM. And the good ones are crossfire.
Oh well i'll just get a CF board and not the other slot. Or just get a single slot M/B Wink

I'm not sure, but I think they are both the same idea. Crossfire is what ATI/AMD calls their multiple video card setup, SLI is Nvidia's name for the same concept. I would think that if the board supports Crossfire, it should support SLI and vise-versa.

I could be wrong though.
