Just saw this and was wondering if this means you could run a 7800 with a 6800 in sli?

Poor wording by Inquirer, go figure. I think all they are saying is that you can run SLI with out the bridge (with a potential performance hit), but not mixing card types, though NVIDIA has hinted that may be on the horizon, as well.

When the hole SLI thing came out Tomshardware put the latest NVIDIA and ATI card into a machine and got them both running. If you could do an SLI/Crossfire with NVIDIA and ATI itd kick ass, the best parts of both worlds. But I know I am only dreaming.

Someone try it, a 7800GTX with a 6800U.

Waiting for results.

How cool would that be, pity the card companys would never let this happen
