Motherboard with acc enabled

if you're going to run a crossfire setup yes. the performance of whichever card is in the x4 slot will be hindered a bit compared to the one in the x16 slot, not exactly sure by how much though.

Is there 1 that has two 16x slots?

techPowerUp :: AMD Radeon HD 5870 PCI-Express Scaling Review :: Page 25 / 26

Don't knock an x4 PCI-E slot.

A 5870 can run 95% of it's full capacity on an x4 slot.

Though yes, we can find you the cheapest x16 x16 motherboard if you want.
Newegg.com - MSI 790X-G45 AM3 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboard - AMD Motherboards

That's probably it.

Will the 5770 run at 95%?

I will get this motherboard then: Newegg.com - ASRock M3A770DE AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard - AMD Motherboards
I only have ddr2 memory is there any cheap ddr3 memory or do u guys have any laying around?

Wait you use DDR2 RAM?
Should have told us that in the first post

Also the 5770 should run close to 100% on a PCI-E 2.0 X4 slot as it uses much less bandwidth than a 5870.


Here's a motherboard that use DDR2 memory and fits the specs you were asking about.

Newegg.com - ASRock A785GXH/128M AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 785G HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard - AMD Motherboards


If you want to get an AM3 motherboard and switch to DDR3 RAM though, you could just sell your DDR2 RAM off for enough money to buy some DDR3 RAM.

How much of a fps difference would I get if I get ddr3 instead of ddr2?

 

[orihS ‪‪‪Shiro]

You probably wouldn't get a gaming FPS difference tbqh lol
