The specs for the GA-N650SLI-DS4L ( http://www.gigabyte.com/products/pro...px?pid=2679#ov ) state specifically the board is SLi compliant (NOT SLi/Crossfire) and the 6870 is an AMD Crossfire card.Quote:

It looks like your asking if just that card will work in the motherboard. No reason why it wouldn't.
Since there is no mention of Crossfire I don't see any issue. The card is a basic PCIE and that board supports
a PCIE card with a 16X slot
Ferrit is, of course, absolutely correct - I am sadly stuck in a 'gamer' frame of mind for expansion, etc.
My apologies.
thanks for the input, I tried it, but it would not work, but I suspect it was the "generic 500 watt " power supply that wasn't up to the job, thanks anyway guysQuote:

Some of those motherboards you actually have to go into the bios and select
that it is a add in card before they will switch over to it.
Did you hook it up using 2 X 75 Watt 6-pin PCI Express power connectors ?
