hi all,

I need for mey second Computer a new Graphicard! SO i get the HD3870X2 from ATI!

my question is:

in this PC is that mainboard
Ausu M2N-sli with 560sli chip!

is this card working on that board?

srry ,don't know anything about computers
as long as they work, its fine for me but i'll tell you what i should do:
I'll go to a store and ask the best card for that type of mainboard.
they'll know what is good or not (i hope )

hi

yes i will do it! but mayby anyone did know it

if you never ask, you never know

i know my frind

If you want to combine 2 ATI video cards you want an Crossfire motherboard
If you want to combine 2 NVIDIA video cards you want an SLI motherboard.

However there are motherboards that support both SLI and Crossfire but you motherboard does not

My Suggestion is to get a NVIDIA GTS250 it will be just fine

hi tolis
thanks for your answer!

i know the first with sli and crossfire but i will only use one card and not sli/cross system!

so i mean is one card working on the board?

and is the GTS250 good for games like cod6,Bc2?

see ya

GTS250>HD3870X2....

How many money you can spent on a card so we can advise you better...

hi tolis,

so around 120 - 150euro! i have look the GTS 250 is 120 euro and the hd3870x2 is 130 euro!
i have found a 3. car:
ATI Radeon HD 5750 (at the moment my favorit)

here the link from the ati!

sorry it is german!

i thing the gts 250 is better and newer but mayby you have a 3. good card or any other idea!

I think the X2 will work, because it is one Card.

If you have 2 cards (Sli/Crossfire) the cards have to "communicate" over the mainboard, because the GPUs are not conected. An SLI-board can only handle a sli signal. A Crossfire only the Crossfire signal.

The X2 has 2 GPUs but the GPU dont need the board to comunicate, because they are conected at the card. So the card will run


"Old" GTX 260/ 275 are "cheap" and they are strong enough for Bc2 and CoD6!
I have the GTX 275, i play CoD6 at 1920*1080 without problems

hi tim

i know! its not a crossfire system! its one card with 2 gpu cernel! the pc see only one gard

If you want to be sure that your computer will have the best drivers and support for all Operating Systems go for a NVIDIA card.

If you want FPS and have a pc only for games go for ATI

My opinion is that NVIDIA cards are more stable,cold and accurate depending on their great drivers...

thank you tolis!

i thing i will buy the nvidia !
