Gigabyte GA-EX58-DS4... is that SLI compatible?
Half the sites i see say it is, while Gigabytes say nothing only Crossfire.

yea but the orange slots mean it's only 8x though...i think, cause on the other gigabyte board it can do 16x-16x-8x tri-sli..and the last 8x slot is orange..not to sure though so don't take my word on it


anyone got any news on coolers/brackets? they still only have like 2-3 coolers for core i7 on newegg

At the moment, ALL x58 boards are only capable of 16x/8x/8x until the boards with nf200 chips come out.

 

[wafflehammer]

what if you only run 2 cards? will it do 16-16?

 

[veedubfreak]

2 cards is 16/16, 3 cards is 16/8/8
