Ok, I just got my CM Stacker tower setup with SLI board and liquid cooling system and everything is set to go... but.. I went to put in both of my ATI Radeon X850 XT PCI-E (VTKX850XT256PCIE) cards in the SLI Setup, and I noticed they didn't have the slot for connecting them to eachother with the PCB bridge thingy. So I take it ATI cannot do SLI? Is there no way around this? If not what are my choices? I'm not so sure the store I got these from has that great of a return policy. Should I stick with 1 of these cards? or go try to return them for 2 of nVidia's? ATI vrs nVIDIA.... =\ was kind of set on ATI but now I see or atleast I think that I can not work SLI with them.

I may be wrong (though I'm 90% sure I'm not), but I'm sure that ATI does not support SLI--I think it's an Nvidia-created setup. Since that's the case, you would have to return the ATI's and grab the best NVidia's available (I haven't been keeping up with video cards lately, so I'm not sure what the best PCI-E would be).

nVidia Sli, Ati Multirendering
JustinPS change that 100 percent

If that questionable store sold two ati's for Sli then you may have grounds to
return them under false info, provided they told you they would work.
At least you'd think they'd take one back.

let us know what happens, maybe some one here may want one of the vid cards.
