I understand this looks like an older discussion, but the P8H61 Mobo doesn't support SLI. Full specs show it's an ASUS P8h61 Plus with an i5-2500K, GTX 460, and a 550W PSU. It's not the main system, just a project, so I was considering adding another 460 for SLI. The board only has one 16x slot and one 1x slot, and I've read that using a GPU in the 1x slot isn't recommended. Also, H-series boards don't support SLI at all. Anyone have thoughts or advice on this?
Check if your motherboard supports SLI by confirming it needs PCIE 8X. Without a second PCIe 8x slot, you won’t be able to run SLI. Xfire only needs 4x, which is not ideal.
I’m unable to provide that answer directly, but here’s how you can locate the solution. First, search for the motherboard model online. Next, visit the manufacturer’s official site and check their support documentation. Look for any information regarding SLI compatibility. Remember, no manufacturer will advertise unsupported features, as they’d avoid mentioning them. SLI is currently unsupported, so it’s best to avoid using it unless you’re certain about compatibility.
Hey there. As mentioned in the original message, this isn't my primary machine. I'm not expecting to use it often, just wanted to try out SLI and learn about older tech. Still, thanks for the helpful tips on using Google. I'm ready to put that knowledge to work now.
