Which is the better among these Sli r Crossfire? and can anyone explain me what these terms meant and how they function?

[revisankar2008]

SLI means "sacalable link interface" .this is used to connect two or more
nvidia graphics cards .for this the motherboard should support SLI.

in the same way to connect two ATI G-cards we use the technology crossfire.

hope my info was helpful.

@revisankar2008,

As of my knowledge crossfire scales much better than Sli. And u can use different cards also in crossfire. I'm talking about discreet GPUs here. At the end of the day it depends on your budget and future plans of upgrade.

[revisankar2008]

At last the performance will be based on the GPU's u use.>>
whether in SLI or Crossfire.

One important thing.Only nvidia mobos support SLI.
And cross fire is supported on Intel and Amd mobos.
Keep this in mind when you buy the mobo.

Only nvidia mobos support SLI.

Intel has licensed NVIDIA's SLI technology for its Skulltrail platform. Infact the Skulltrail supports NVIDIA's SLi and ATi's Crossfire _simultaneously_. Only thing, performance is not good( :lol: :lol: imagine 4/8 graphics cards and still bad performance) because games get confused whether to use SLI or Crossfire :|
