Be careful to read the fine print.  I've not looked at the newer chipsets, but back when I was more into PC hardware, there were a limited number of "lanes" available within the chipset.  Even if the board had four slots, only one slot would have full bandwidth while the other slots would be restricted to half or quarter bandwidth... (you would see something like x16, x8, x4, x4 for each of the four slots giving a total of x32 which was the maximum number of lanes that the chipset supported)

indeed. that is what i think is the case, but the mobo was designed not to run 4 cards at once but only 2.


This is a 300 pound gaming motherboard and they designed it that you can switch on the fly between ATI card number 1 and 2 (which are in SLI / cross fire) to  NVidia number 3 and 4. That is presuming you got 4 cards installed on mobo. There are also 4 switches on the board which can disable individual card

Did you get a Classified or Rampage (or something close)? As Seuss said you'll only get 16x speed from so many slots, my board only does 2x 16.  Honestly, I don't see any benefit to having more than two cards unless you have eyefinity or something.  Crossfire application profiles do help the performance a fair amount, but some games just don't work that well.  WoW for some reason works better with one card than with crossfire... I also get better performance running it in DirectX 11 mode.  :shrug:

Unless you are doing shit like AUTOCAD you have no use at all for 12GB or more and will probably never use it.




yeah only reason I went with 8gb, was for 3d modeling, photoshoppin, illustrated all together.
