ATI card on Nvidia Mobo?

I has a mobo.
It has onboard Nvidia graphics.

I'm looking for a low-profile HDCP-capable (i.e. including audio, via DVI) graphics card so that this can turn into an HTPC.

What I've found so far is this, but it's ATI.

Will these two play nice together?

 

I think they should, your mobo has PCI-E and this card is PCI-E so i think they should be fine, am not 100% sure tho. I guess it would only matter if you would like to use 2 Ati Cards in crosffire but in mobo with nvidia SLI, still i am not 100% sure, wait for other users respons

 

yeah those 2 will work fine together! its only if you wish to run sli or crossfire that this becomes an issue! i like the look of that low profile ati card! nice find!

 

i can confirm it works, been running ATI cards on nvidia chipsets since the nforce2/9600pro onwards.

you can't do crossfire, but otherwise works fine

 

I was using a ati card on a nvidia amd board, no problems at all. I've since upgraded but it was not cause of compatibility issues.

 

Great, thanks everyone.

Do you all think that the card itself looks okay?
I'm hoping that that shop does get the ordered stock...

 

that is great so i was right, just wanted to make sure everybody else think the same I got nvidia sli mobo and want to upgrade my gpu to something better thinking, about 9800GT but it seems that ATI cards are even better

 

I think your mobo will exit your case and start beating you with the sacrilege to put on it

 

is that a serious comment (the sacrilege, not the exit/beating part), or are you just a nvidia fanboy?

 

Slight thread hijack here (still kinda ontopic...)...

So I could run say.... a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161243 on a XFX 790i SLI board?

 

Yep

Basically if it has a PCIe slot and the chipset is stable, it'll work (which pretty much = everything)
extras like SLI and crossfire are more specific, but if you don't need them you can ignore the chipset type and get any graphics card you want*

*notable exception is the ATI X2 cards which are technically crossfire on one card, but they do not need a crossfire-enabled chipset to work so it's a moot point

 

thanks cyrllthefish,

And now back to your regularly scheduled posts.

 

What about vice-versa. I have a crossfire ATI chipset (x3200) and I would like to put in two NVIDIA cards (non-SLI, I have many monitors).

And noone has mentioned driver incompatibility. I thought there was a problem at one point running catalyst and forceware together, something about accessing the same memory space or accessing the GPU/Chipset simultaneously in two different ways.

Also, what about 1 NVIDIA GPU and one ATI GPU in a multi-monitor environment?

 

lol no, I was joking...

 

nVidia cards in a Xfire mobo should work fine, but you probably won't be able to run SLi.

For a single graphics card in a mobo without onboard (and enabled) graphics, it's also fine.

For 1 nVidia and 1 ATi GPU, I'm not sure tbh. It'll probably work, but I wouldn't count on it.
