Looks like Nvidia is screwed.. If this is true then like the article said, they would lose alot of money and customers.

DAMN: this can be a decisive blow to nVidia's high-end market!

FilipM · May 5, 2008

Well, back in the time of the NF4 and NF5 chipsets, SLI was available only with AMD cpu's right? Nvidia will be fine with it and so will AMD-ATI. From the looks of this, Nvidia might push on fast single chip GFX's while ATI also might push on the Crossfire technology...

smig · May 5, 2008

I think this will come back to Intel as a bumerang.
AMD-ATI will dominate the gaming market.

The best Intel can do is going together with nVidia agains AMD-ATI.
Maybe nVidia should go with Motorola for the next gaming PC ? this will leave Intel alone in the hot desert.

jonmcc33 · May 5, 2008

Intel has never supported SLI in it's chipsets. This is nothing new.

SLI is a complete waste anyway.

lemonadesoda · May 5, 2008

Well, personally, I think this is GOOD NEWS. Why?

nVidia will be forced to develop a better ONE SOCKET GPU solution. Just like ATi does the x2 series... I'm sure nVidia will be successful in increasing the performance of a single die, and then twinning 2 on one card.

If the net net is faster single cards, and lower power consumption... then its a win for all us consumers. Might take nvida 6 months to change strategy... "high end = single card".

More like 6 pcb's :roll:

/sarcasm

Definitely interesting stuff. If nVidia wants to keep the high-end market, we will definitely be seeing some more high-end single GPU cards from them. It will be like the days of the 8800Ultra, but with ATi's X2's in the mix as well.

I was kind of hoping that down the road developers would begin supporting multi-threading of graphics like they do programs for CPUs. Looks like this puts at least one pretty large nail in that coffin, though.

FreedomEclipse · May 5, 2008

oh well looks like im either gonna be forced to stay AMD or throw away my more or less new 8800GTS (G92) just for the sake of crossfire....

I know i can still use the 8800GTS as a single card but i was so looking forward to sli

I think the article is saying the CPU wont support SLi so it doesnt matter if the chipset doesnt or not.

Would you really be buying that many cores? I honestly think you'd be much happier on a speedy dual or quad core.

I just went Intel from a 5000+BE to an E6300 and I loved it, and just picked up an E8500 and I'm screaming. Quad cores...psh...who needs 'em?

If you are gaming on a monitor with a resolution at or larger than 1680x1050 with current games on high details, multi-GPU is almost a must for 60+FPS. Don't make silly claims just because they don't apply to you :cool:

can the CPU really limit the chipset? Intel doesn't support SLI as is, that's one of the reasons why we use nvidia chipset motherboards(atleast that's my understanding), to be able to use SLI on a intel cpu system.

theonetruewill · May 5, 2008

I'm sorry but I think you guys are taking this a little too seriously. The percentage of the market that actually uses SLI is frankly miniscule. It's not going to make too much difference IF and stress IF, the CPU hinders SLI usage. Ask yourself this - how many people do you actually know that use SLI?

There are only 2,363 steam users are using Nvidia SLI. We know that not all of them are using SLI at the same time but Nvidia claims that it sold three million SLI compatible boards and eight million SLI compatible graphic cards.

What I love is Nvidia's claim- well yeah heck I even bought an SLI compatible board and I have owned an SLI compatible card too- but did I use SLI, hell no.

I bloody well hope so. I want a real hardcore beast of a card. Something to make me chuck my 8800GTX.

candle_86 · May 5, 2008

won't phase Nvidia, as everything has shown in games a fast CPU out weighs a fast CPU. Tell me will your e8500 oced to 3ghz running an 8800GS take on an x2 5000BE oced to 3ghz with an 8800GTX?

Nope, the CPU is faster, but the GFX isnt. It just means for good gaming power AMD is the way to go once more, simple as that

DeathTyrant · May 5, 2008

If that is to be the case, then I could get an AMD chip next, and the x64 badge on my Lian Li would be fitting once more.

beyond_amusia · May 5, 2008

Maybe Intel has done this in retaliation for nVidia teaming up with Via on that $45 computer... But I don't understatand them teaming you with AMD and supporting CrossFire... Does that strike anyone as really odd? Concidering that Intel is ramping up it's own intergrated GPU/CPU solution and possibly making there own graphics cards soon... These are odd times we are living in, lmao.

acouple things-

1st off, the e8500 is stock at 3.16 gig

2nd, in the middle of my last upgrade to my current system, I had a x2 5200 running with this GX2 I have now, my benchmark was around 10,000 with the 5200 and the gx2. When I got my e8400(which is stock at 3 gig) and 750ftw motherboard running, my benchmarks went to 15000 and I did see a very noticable performance gain.

3rd, AMD don't have shit on Intel once the OC'ing starts

4th, I beleive that x2 5000, even OC to 3 gig's, is gonna bottleneck the GTX card(just like my 5200 OC to 2874mhz did to my gx2), so yes, I believe the 8500 with the GS card will out do the 5000 with the GTX

NO SLI!! How about crossfire?

I don't know what Intel is thinking. The only thing keeping their competitor afloat is their graphics card devision, why would they purposely shoot nVidia in the foot to give their bigger competitor a monopoly?
