[Thrik]

Do they normally only have one or something?

[Bic-B@ll]

[dissonance]

three 7950's... zomg.

I hope they changed their fucked up ethernet ports and their SATA-controler. But anyway: 3 PCI-E slots, woohoo!

[ReNo]

Three is nothing, check out this quad PCI-E 16x motherboard from Asus...

Not as well spaced as they seem to be on that on you posted however, so probably only gonna fit single slot graphics cards.

How the hell do you even fit 4 cards there?

Seems the cards must be very flat then (and afaik the new cards are always pretty damn fat ) but I'm not too into hardware so I wouldn't know really.

Hi, I'm a gazillionare.

[dissonance]

yeah, how would you fit the cards in there?

There's not really 4 cards on these 4 slots.

In fact, there's 2 sets of 2 cards, and these cards are somewhat thinner that the original ones.

I read a review of the 4-slot motherboard, and they did manage to get 4 cards in there. Means you could set it up with 8 monitors if you wanted

Ive got such a card (GF 7950GX2, the GT one sucks) and it runs, even in MultiGPU mode, on my mainboard very well.

[NykO18]

I never doubt about it.

I have this card also. It's like having 7900 SLI'd on one video card with 1 gig of video memory.

Basically, it's fraking stoopid. In a good way.
