SLI licensed to run on ASUS, EVGA, MSI, Gigabyte and DFI

NVIDIA Corporation today announced that the world’s preeminent motherboard manufacturers, ASUS, EVGA, MSI, Gigabyte, and DFI, have all licensed NVIDIA®SLI®technology for their new line-up of motherboards designed to work with Intel Bloomfield CPUs and X58 chipsets. The addition of SLI to these motherboards and adoption by major OEMs including Dell and others mean consumers will be able to harness the power of award-winning GeForce®GPUs in single, SLI, or 3-way SLI configurations for the fastest visual computing experience on upcoming Intel Bloomfield platforms.

That means only the users of these 5 boards will get SLI on their mobos.But anyways, these are the topmost companies we generally buy our motherboards from.

Actually those are the only companies that have signed up by Oct 21st... More companies will be signed up down the road. Nothing to freak out about and I'm sure other companies like Foxconn, ECS, EVGA and so on will be SLI ready.

Remember being SLI ready is a new sBIOS... So once a company pays an NVIDIA Royality they will release a new sBIOS and poof SLI works with nothing else to be done. Pretty simple and easy.

Oh i thought other x58 mobos won't support SLI.Thanks for the info Nate.
