Default Radeon 5770 on XFX 750i SLi

So, im thinking about getting a new GPU and looking into the Radeon 5770 as the GTX260 and up series are not priced great. So, my question lays: If i get a 5770, will the Nvidia chipset on the 750i be cruel to me since it will be running a *ghasp* ATI card?

This prolly sounds like a really dumb question, but you never know what competitors will do....

no; it'll work fine
it is branded for nvidia because xfx paid nvidia to enable SLI for that board

Single ATI GPU on an nVidia-based motherboard is no problem.

You just can't run any kind of Crossfire on it.

The reverse is true for nVidia GPUs on CF motherboards. One = good, two = no dice.
