You missed his point, he said that they haven't licensed SLI for use with AMD/ATI graphics cards, because those work with crossfire. They did license SLI to motherboard manufacturers (not AMD, think Asus) for use with AMD CPU chipsets.
- wccrawford 16y agoHis point was something completely other than what happened, and what was reported on. It doesn't surprise me that I missed it. The reporting matched the event exactly.
- jbooth 16y agoI usually abstain from "No, you're wrong" responses, but re-read this thread, particularly dman's longer explanation in reply to himself. He's accurate. Your attempted nit-picking is not. 990X et al are CPU chipsets. Not GPU chipsets. This is about the integration between the graphics cards and the CPU, not about inter-graphics card protocol. EDIT: A better way to put this is that they're not licensing SLI to AMD, AMD has no use for SLI, they have crossfire. They are providing a chip that integrates with AMD CPU chipsets to motherboard manufacturers. I hope that's more clear.
- wccrawford 16y agoThe reporting matched the event exactly. He declared that it doesn't, and went off on a side rant. Yes, it's CPUs. That's what they were talking about. Everyone. Right up until he posted, talking about GPUs instead.
