Nvidia Licenses SLI to AMD, Did Hell Freeze Over?

Most likely they didn't want a development where potential customers would choose Radeon cards because their logic would be "made by the same company so they should work better with AMD". As for AMD even if they may lose potential Radeon customers to Nvidia, it pays off for having more potential customers choosing AMD over Intel.
This is how merging ATI and AMD complicated things.

Then why didn't nvidia do it earlier? Nothing is stopping them from doing it earlier. AMD enabled crossfire on intel products long ago. AMD has been marketing their products (cpu, chipset, video card) as an entire platform long ago.
AceHigh:
Because they were dumb? Diverse compatibility is what makes products successful in this market.

Maybe I'll buy some AMD cards next/

So, I guess the motherboard of my main PC is from the future because it supports AMD CPUs (Socket 940, Opteron 2xx) and SLI.
