I'm 100% in favor for revamping this article, however this section makes me twitch:

"In order to use SLI, a motherboard with an nForce4, nForce 500, nForce 600 or nForce 700 SLI chipset must be used, although with the use of hacks[7] one can make SLI work on motherboards with Intel, ATI and ULi chipsets. NVIDIA has stated that only their own chipsets can allow SLI to function optimally, and that they will not allow SLI to work on any other vendor's chipsets. Some early SLI systems used Intel's E7525 Xeon chipset, which caused problems when NVIDIA started locking out other vendor's chipsets as it limited them to an outdated driver set. In 2007, Intel has licensed NVIDIA's SLI technology for its SkullTrail platform, and select motherboards supporting the Intel X58 (Tylersburg) chipset have unlocked SLI capabilities. Not all X58 motherboards support this technology, as NVIDIA offered it to motherboard manufacturers at the cost of $5 per motherboard sold.[8] NOTE: As of the release of the AMD 900 chipset series, SLI can be run on an AMD mainboard provided that it has the 970, 990X, or 990FX chipset on the board.[9]"

Most Z-series Intel and higher-end AMD chipsets come with support for both SLI and Crossfire without the need for any sorts of 'hacks' or dedicated nForce chipsets. Actually, the nForce chipsets have been completely discontinued since 2009-2010ish. So the above is completely antiquated information.

List of Nvidia graphics processing units[edit]

Hi there, I noticed your comments on that page. I want to talk a bit about that. A key thing that seems to be going on is that there are a number of editors who seem very focused on trimming lists of technical lists down to the point where technical users can't get much value from them. I would like to see some pages modernized but I also would like to see if I can get enough support to push back against the supposed consensus that led to some technical article lists get more or less totally blanked out - like happened to the EXMOR page which used to have an associated list of Sony image sensors. --Edwin Herdman (talk) 05:19, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Just noticed this message. My view on the page is somewhere in the middle so to speak. I would like a lot of information trimmed, but I don't want the page removed outright or entries blanked out with a redirect somewhere else. But yeah, I support the push back against what the consensus seems to be. This whole thing irks me anyway. Are they doing this with every single hardware list? Because if it's deemed "too technical", then a lot of math and physics pages should get a pruning because a lot of advanced stuff I'm sure goes over many people's heads.
