Will 3870 X2 and 9800 GX2 work on opposite chipsets?
My question is, will the 3870 X2 work on say an nvidia chipset and could a 9800 GX2 work on an intel chipset, i realise two of the cards won't work, but was wondering if just a single one will (as they will only use 1 slot).
Any ideas? |

Re: Will 3870 X2 and 9800 GX2 work on opposite chipsets?
Yes, i read earlier today that a 3870 X2 will work on any motherboard with a single or multiple PCI-E slot. Doesnt matter about chipset, as the bridge/connector on the card itself does all the information sharing.
AnandTech: ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2: 2 GPUs 1 Card, A Return to the High End Don't know about the 9800 though.
System as shown, plus: Akasa 965 HSF. Griffin Powermate that pulsates blue! Solid oak computer desk.
Diamondback Razor. Logitech media keyboard. Netgear MP115. AC-S1 R2 on the 3870. Netgear DG834N router. Creative I-Trigue 3450 driven by an Audigy 2. External 160GB and 500GB hard drives. 1 happy me. 1 not so happy me's wife. My Hexus Trust |
