Vista and Crossfire/SLI graphics

Posted: 07-26-2006, 07:32 PM
I read the fine article posted here by Fernando, and came across this
passage:
"... if you are a user of a multi-graphics setup such as SLI or Crossfire,
you can't use Vista under the current arrangement because Vista won't let
the graphics cards send data to each other."

Is this TRUE ???
If it is, Microsoft has to fix that pronto!
If not, many gamers (who are a prime userbase of computers) will be furious
and not want to obtain Vista.

Hi,

I think this is actually a driver problem, and not a problem with Vista
model. When ATI and nVidia release their final drivers, Crossfire and
SLI will be supported ( I hope!!)
