While some user's will wonder why they would want to use a non SLI card on a SLI motherboard, this is to properly educate the masses that Radeons do run on nForce 4 motherboards and our test bed proves it and runs quite well I might add. The PowerColor X800XL simply runs excellent on this rig and the scores show the results AMD and nForce 4 have over the Intel offering.

The Radeon X800XL fits like a glove, being stuffed into out SLI capable DFI nF4 SLI-DR motherboard - the Mack daddy of all SLI boards at the current moment. Notice the huge ZALMAN Cooler? Thanks to the single slot design and low profile PCB of the PowerColor Radeon X800XL, our configure works fantastic together.

We are running the same game titles to give us an idea of what these two platforms can do using the same card. While we could of ran several more game titles, we felt that we wanted to target the PowerColor X800XL on two different platforms for analysis and we wanted to point out that this card run exceptionally well both AMD and Intel systems.
