CR6 0 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Looks like Intel and Nvidia will become cozier soon ... that's great as I'd like a decent SLI chipset for my Core 2 Duo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteKnight77 1 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Looks like Intel and Nvidia will become cozier soon ... that's great as I'd like a decent SLI chipset for my Core 2 Duo I wonder if AMD will still support nForce motherboards in the future. If not, I have a feeling there will be a lot of people jumping ship. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Foxtrot360 0 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 (edited) I think so too WK, i dont think that would affect it that much though. I was also awaiting a decent SLI/Intel chipset before i rebuild. One equiped for gaming. Sadly, it doesent look like that will ever happen =(. Not that i cant go with AMD though..

If not, I have a feeling there will be a lot of people jumping ship. I don't see that support stop. It would make AMD a thief of their own pocket. There are other segments that are more interesting: integrated graphics (aimed against Intel, not Nvidia) and of course the next "big thing": physics where the AMD-ATI cpu and gpu gurus now can join forces. And then there's always the chance for bundled hardware to the benefit of the consumers. After AMD's latest price cut, they might as well give away some series of their processors with a set of Crossfire graphic cards or motherboard.

Cpl Ledanek 247 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 With HL2/GRAW running better (appears so far) on ATI cards, I just might jump ship too. AMD being cheaper (thats me, Mr. Cheap) than Intel, its the better deal for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GreyHaired 0 Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 Intel drops ATI's Crossfire at Conroe launch. http://www.theinq.com/default.aspx?article=33287 I wasn't aware that Intel+Crossfire was preferred to Intel+SLI From above link: If you read Rahul's Blog about it, you will see that up to a few days ago, Conroe + Crossfire was the gaming platform of choice for the new Intel era. That was Monday pre-8am EST though. So, now ATI is forbidden from Intel semi-officially, and who wins? The user? Nope, SLI won't run on Intel chipsets (yet). Intel? Nope, they have a gaming event that will probably end up showing the awesome power of 4 monitors over high frame rates and resolution on a single monitor. The poor demo guy who has to put a few dozen Conroe + NV boxes together on a day's notice? Certainly not him, but guys, give him a raise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Harelip 5 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 AMD also dropped its prices approximately 20 euros on Monday this week. We started stocking X2 CPUs almost instantly at work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Of course there are contracts and licenses that will be fulfilled by both parties so the boards will hit the market but Intel won't promote Crossfire boards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
