I have an Nvidia board suitable for SLi but i've had nowt but trouble with a couple of 7600gt's that i've tried. Will i be able to use a single Ati card instead...its PCI-E. Cheers.
 
splendid....i've got around the £100 mark to spend and was thinking about the x1950xt...am i along the right lines with this or are there others that are better value?
 
Best car for around £100 at the moment is the X1950. Great choice :)

EDIT: I wouldn't do the above, the XT is worth the extra over the PRO IMO.

yes u can.. but be aware u may find picture problems. i had a nvidia motherboard before with a ati graphic card and it didn't like it, even in the bios the colours was all wrong...

Then you did something wrong.

Never had an issue with ATi cards on nForce2, nForce4, and nForce 650i boards.

Likewise I've never had issues the other way around either, with nVidia cards on ATi chipsets.

good for u..

mmmm i did something wrong?? lol nope...

puting a card in a slot, it can only go in 1 way... and i know it wasn't the card because i bought a ati motherboard and it worked fine.. and i know it wasn't the nVidia motherboard because i bought a nVidia graphic card and that worked fine..

what card was that?

when the x1900 came out it did that to almost every board, there was a mainboard bios update for almost all of them that suffered the problem.

There is absolutely no problem using an ati card in a nvidia mainboard and vice versa. :)
