VIA und der SLI Support
VIA wird, entgegen aller vorherigen Meldungen nicht NVIDIAs SLI Technologie unterstützen. Die eigene VIA DualGFX Express Technologie im VIA K8T890 Pro eignet sich daher nur für Workstationsysteme mit Multi-Display Lösungen. Man arbeite zwar derzeit mit den Mainboardherstellern zusammen um eine alternative Lösung ohne die Hilfe von NVIDIA zu finden, könne aber bisher keine Details dazu bekannt geben. Somit werden, falls es VIA gelingt SLI in seine Hardware und Treiber zu integrieren, die VIA Mainboard wohl nicht durch NVIDIA zertifiziert und dürfen offiziell nicht das NVIDIA SLI Logo tragen.
Michal Lisiecki, Marketing Manager Europa, äußerte sich wie folgt gegenüber Hardwareluxx:
SLI-support still depends on nVidia and their video drivers. However there might be an alternative solution, which we are working on together with mainboard vendors. Can't disclose more at the moment... However we still feel that multi-display applications (3 or 4 monitors) are a very interesting topic for many users both on K8 and P4 platforms. We will be launching this kind of solution for P4 at the end of January. To give you a small preview, there will be 2 of them: PT880Pro will feature simulatainous support for AGP and PCI-Express graphics and PT894Pro will feature 2 PCI-Express graphics support.
