My 780i was not able to be fixed so i got a store credit, i was lokking at a x58 mother board and it says that it supports both sli and crossfire x is this true, are all x58 mother boards able to do this.


Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R X58 CORE i7 ATX

Yea most X58 mobo's are able to do both SLI and Crossfire. Just be carefull though i have seen some x58's that dont support SLI.

Best to check the specs to make sure.

http://www.techspot.com/review/168-msi-x58-pro-e/page2.html

Quoted from the above site:
"It is important to note that while the MSI X58 Pro-E does support CrossfireX, users must purchase a special “X58 Pro-E SLI” version if they wish to use SLI technology. Nvidia charges a premium to manufacturers to include SLI support and therefore the X58 Pro-E SLI board will cost more than the X58 Pro-E. Hopefully this will be made clear by the manufacturer and merchants offering the product."

ALthough this is for the MSI version of the X58 motherboard, I would assume it would be fairly similar, if not exactly the same for the Gigabyte version:?:

Hope this helps

yea that just what i was after thnaks Falcon

No probs at all...

Last time i checked, EX58-DS4 doesn't support SLI, but does support CF. May have changed though. Best to check. Anything above should support both.

msi is for fags. So is crossfire. All evga or gigabyte x58 all support sli. Thats al u need to know

they do support sli, my cousin puts comps to tests and blows them up. He has been through 2 x58's and 2 1500w psu and 1 1200w psu. If you really need to find anything out just ask www.maxishine.com.au
