SLI will DEFINATELY work on Conroe!

[eatmuchpie]

Hurrah! There were rumours about this before, but now it is certain after an official chat between Bjorn3D and Nvidia:

Article

<Mousiness> will there be quad-sli supported in 570 chipsets?
<BDR> We support Quad SLI on any NV chipset
<BDR> that supports SLI of course

<Mousiness> will nvidia ever make chipsets for conroe?
<NVIDIA_tap> We will support future intel processors on nForce
<BDR> NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI is available for Intel platforms too

<lkraven> When do you expect 500 series Conroe motherboards to begin appearing in the retail channel?
<NVIDIA_tap> No comment on conroe since we don;t control the channel, but we expect boards to be availabe at launch
<BDR> Conroe boards will start to show up sometime in the June time frame...

Looking good! Now I can just watch the hours drip away like on a leaky tap. . . . . . Seriously, July 23rd? I'll go insane!

TBH I'm not that fussed about SLI, just give me a conroe and a good clocking mobo

Ditto!

I am! That is good news. Now I can think about going Conroe rather than a dual core A64.

This is what I wanted to hear

I was slightly worried about the SLi support, but something to upgrade to and play with soon

DFI are due to bring out a SLI Conroe board in August, along with an ATI RD600 board. They're also doing a i975x board for release in July.

Any of these will be most likely be good boards, but I think I'll be going with RD600.

surely its good news to someone thats already got a pair of cards in sli as they would work right?

SLi will finally be stupidly quick now - no more cpu bottleneck imagine how fast it will go.
