Geoff VIP Member Dec 31, 2009 #2 It's perfectly fine, you don't need to have an ATI card with an AMD processor.
Computer_Freak Active Member Jan 1, 2010 #3 the GFX card is completely different to the GPU, and it is isolated from it. meaning, you dont need the same brands. the only time you need the same brand, is when you SLI/Crossfire. Then you would need ATi - ATi or nVidia - nVidia
