Nvidia or just ATI

[cfm lewis cfm]

hey im kinda new to this but can i use a Nvdia card such as the 560 or am i stuck with ATI

I have a asus formula IV with the AMD 1090t

I wasn’t sure if Nvidia is just for Intel and ATI is just for AMD, or if u could mix and match

You can use any card on the board.

(several ATI cards or 1 Nvidia card)

depends on what flavour u like really.... i always prefer the amd ati combo, there pretty much the same company now anyway. nice board btw

As above does not matter really just go for which suits your needs

RJC says "or 1 Nvidia" does that mean i wouldnt be able to have 2 cards in sli ???

I have constantly switched between them both, depends on price of what is available at the time.

I asked the same question (can I use an Nvidia gfx card in an AMD motherboard) before I changed from ATI to Nvidia.

In theory almost every PCIe graphics card should work in virtually all PCIe equipped motherboards, the chipset shouldn't matter.

However, theory and practice are two different things.........

I'm not saying that it is a chipset compatibility issue, but I'd have saved a hell of a lot of time and hassle if I had stuck with AMD.
