Midani Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I need the BEST SLI motherboard to run OSx86. I looked around and found out what motheboards are good (p5w and bad axe 2) but those do not support SLI. I want SLI for the windows part. Please help me out and let me know as i will be ordering it soon. Thank you.

Azurael Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 If you want SLI, it's got to be an NVidia chipset. If you want SATA to work in OS X, you don't want an NVidia chipset. Based on my experience, you don't really want SLI. Obviously some people will disagree but IMHO, Just buy a proper GPU to start with. Except at really high resolutions, it can make no difference or even make games slower, it only works properly in some games, the performance, even in those cases is nowhere near double. All in all, SLi/Crossfire are more about showing off than anything practical. I've tried it. I didn't get on with it. If you really care about benchmarks, it might be worth the money and hassle of using one of NVidia's sad excuses for a properly-supported, stable chipset. I'd say if you care more about benchmarks, there's probably not much point having a PC to start with because you'll just spend your whole life watching loops of 3Dmark.
