What Actually is SLI and CROSSFIRE?

what i know is that SLI is from NVIDIA while CROSSFIRE is from ATI.

but how does it work??

can i pair a 9800GT with a HD4770?

SLI is for nVidia, as u have said.
Crossfire is for ATi, as u have said.
therefore, it wont work with combining video cards from nvidia and ati. technology is different, driver is also different. hardware support is also different.

they are technology that boost graphics representation speeds and quality by augmenting a single graphics processing unit (GPU) with another of ITS KIND. they sometimes call it bridging (which referes to the physical "bridge" you put on to connect two or more cards together sa imohang motherboard). sometimes this is cooperating, wherein a load is divided into different GPUs, or by dividing loads wherein ,example, lahi sa physics processing and lahi sa ang sa display processing (too technical to explain). in multi GPU, single card setups, two GPU's are physically present sa usa ka card, but gi-bridge nana sila electronically sa card mismo, the result are X2's like 9800gx2 or 4870x2 (naming may differ though).

it is wrong to believe though that wen you have two cards, u get twice more of the performance.

Ok SLI and Crossfire again!

Let me ask your opinions what are the benefits and the difference of using both SLI/Crossfire? Explain

I think one card is enough.

if you are a heavy gamer then it wont be enough for you. a increase in performance is badly needed so thats why naay sli ug crossfire kay para ma increase ang performance for gaming.

The question should be why not? Depende sa bulsa.

unsaon paG maTCh sa GPU nA AKo gmitoN??naa ko currently 9800gt..so pra mka sli ko knahanglan pd ko ug isa pa ka 9800gt? or pde ra lain nga gpu?

[isaacrobot]

kelangan thesame model. pero naa instance nga ok ra dli exactly thesame like Nvidia GTX 260 65nm and GTX 260 55nm. pwede na ma SLI ang duha.

grabeh....wla jud ka nkakita ug article ani sa internet

dli jud na pwede ang nvidia card ipares sa ati.... kung pwede man gani, shocked jud ko...

kung ati nga card, ati sad ang pares
kung nvidia card, nvidia ang pares...
yea, like isaacrobot said, it must be the same model....

kung naa kay 9800GT, ang pares ana kay 9800GT ghapon unya the same manufacturer sad...

xD

not necessarily same brand...
