From: nope on 22 Jul 2010 12:29 ah ok thanks, I'm upset because i didnt relise when they say sli they mean sli only , apparently . I went out and bought another 5770 yesterday luckily i didnt open the box yet . When i gt home i thought to myself hmm hang on a minute i better double check just to make sure all will be well ,then started reading the bad news around the place... I've heard HP has a Blackbird bios for the striker and this board wicch allows both brands of cards , it just means with their bios u can only run crossfire and with the standard Asus bios on SLi ,but i dont like to belive everything i read on the internet :P owell time to ring the store back and see if i can get my money back or swap both cards for something else .. :( what a hassle "Phat_Jethro" <me(a)work.now> wrote in message news:i26q3u$bp9$1(a)news.eternal-september.org... > On 7/21/2010 9:24 PM, nope wrote: >> Hi , >> >> I'm wondering if anyone can clear this up for me , i have the above >> motherboard and wondering if 2 x ati 5770's will work on this board i've >> read around the place that there is bios or driver hacks so that they >> will work together in crossfire . any help is appriciated >> >> thanks > > I have that board and have only tried 2 x nVidia 8800GTS in Win7 which > worked fine. > > -- > Jethro[AGHL] aka Phat_Jethro > Reply Email: jethro86 (at) gmail (dot) com
