- Symmetry 16y agoNo, the licensed it to AMD. Motherboard makers that make boards that accept AMD CPUs due so with a chipset that AMD provides (Nvidia used to provide them too, but no longer does). It might in theory be possible for mother board makers to hack things so that you can run NVidia graphics cards in SLI when using an AMD chipset but I've never heard of that happening. All of the relevant liscensing was between AMD and NVidia. There might be some certification process that motherboard manufacturers need to go through before they can claim that their boards support SLI, but the technology license was definitely to AMD.
