M2n sli deluxe nvidia and ati wont play nice

magnus33

Have three lcd's and recently found out on this board that ati and nvidia pci express wont work at the same time.

Something about the driver not being able to load because of the other card.

Now if i stick two ati 1650 in everything works fine.

Problem i would rather one of these cards be my 8600gts.

Is there anyway to get nvidia and ati to play nice on this board or am i stuck getting another nvidia card.

(this would make four pci express cards i may need to open a store soon...lol).

Thanks.

There isn't any way to do so. Since the mobo is SLI mobo then the only way is to get two nVidia cards. Basically SLI mobos supports nVidia card combos, but since they have two x8 PCI-E slots when dual mode it can support two AMD cards too, but you can forget CrossFire.

I know it was done with two on toms hardweare guide but that was sometime ago.

I can get a ati and vidia running on my asrosk board but that was pci express and agp.

Guess its time to by another nvidia...lol.

That Asrock mobo had VIA chipset on so that's why it can run both...

Turns out all the hardware works fine together but vista no longer lets you use two video cards unless they use the same driver.
