NVIDIA Enables SLI on Intel X58 Chipsets For a Fee

NVIDIA has always had the strong arm when it comes to graphics performance and a sign of this dominance was them forcing companies to only enable SLI on their chipsets. For years if you have wanted to run SLI you had to run on an NVIDIA platform, but seems to be coming to an end very soon. NVIDIA just announced a new licensing program to enable SLI on Intel X58 Express chipsets!

NVIDIA has finally allowed for SLI to be supported on Intel chipsets, which confirms that you could have all along if they would have allowed it. This is honestly the right move to make and NVIDIA got the announcement made before Intel releases the Intel X58 Express chipset and Bloomfield processors, which is huge.

NVIDIA is allowing Intel X58 Express chipsets to support SLI graphics right out of the box!

That is a huge announcement!

So you're going to bye? Why leave so soon? You'll bye... wait, where are you going?

I think I might buy an X58 motherboard when they come out. I don't know anyone else who will bye it.

Sorry, you're right, I was being pretty blunt. But hopefully he learned the difference. I also speak two language, but I'm lucky English was my first. Props to anyone ( including chopper ) who had to learn English as a second language, because I sure wouldn't want to!
