| Nvidia to enable native SLI on certified X58 motherboards If you want to combine a pair of GeForce graphics cards with a new Core i7 processor from Intel later this year, you're in luck. Just after the grand finale for its Nvision conference, Nvidia gathered reporters to inform them of a somewhat surprising and apparently very recent decision: the firm plans to enable its SLI multi-GPU scheme to work with Intel's X58 chipset—without the need for an nForce 200 PCI Express bridge chip on the motherboard...

| Re: Nvidia to enable native SLI on certified X58 motherboards The only reason they're doing this, is because Intel no longer needs them for SLI or ATI, because Intel pretty much owns the firm, that developed the technology where you can run an ATI card along with an Nvidia card, without the need for licenses or chipsets from either company, and because Intel will not let them have a license to make chipsets for the up coming cpu's. The same technology I mention, also enables Intel to run two ATI cards in Crossfire, or two Nvidia cards in SLI all without having to get a license or some special chip from either AMD or Nvidia.
