Technically the FTW version. Matches GTX 260 55nm GTX 285/ 295 tbh.
Edit: This version has the NF200 Chip.

I'm sure unless you're using watercooling, or have something very large blowing a fuckload of air over them, that last setup would simply melt and die.

the tri-SLI setup just cries for air.

I wish I could use a 9800GT as just a PhysX card. Christ.

by the way, take a look, the NF200 chip seems to perform a little WORSE in 3 way SLI.

Actually the NF200 chip does nothing to improve performance. Actually it slowers the 3-way SLi performance atm while costing more and adding heat to the mobos. I call that fail. Why the hell you would like to ruin the new SLi boards with shitty nvidia chips when we just got rid of them?

That NF200 chip has BAD latency issues. It is the single reason why 780i is 10% slower than rest of the boards with singgle GPU. And it causes LOTS of funky driver issues so DO NOT WANT.

So anyone looking for tri-sli on i7 skip all boards with NF200, just get the normal X58. There is review on HardOCP about NF200 + X58 vs X58 and NF200 flopped badly.

edit: but those GTX 295s..... UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

edit2: WAITTTTTTTTTTTTTT NOOOOOOOOO GTX 295 is not being sold in EU but they sure are selling them in USA?

see above link?

it's a shame really, you'd think that x16+x16+x6 would be better than x16+x8+x8 but whatever.

Tempted by the BFG 295 on overclockers. It isnt priced that crazy, considering how bad the £>$ exchange rate has hit. Then again I believe the 40nm cards are due around april-may.

Not really, because it's PCIe 2.0. So, x8 == x16 PCIe 1.1.

Some more on the Mother board. I was reading elsewhere on this and it was mentioned that this MB has 2 8-pin power connectors for the CPU. How many power supplies have you seen with 2 power connectors?

yes please

I came.

But it looks HOT. All cards but the bottom one are suffocating

Look at the placement of my 8800GTS
http://trackr.net/files/computer/92/DSC04216.JPG

It's running quite hot due to the little intake room, those cards in the pic above are gonna melt.

doesn't matter, because more bandwidth SHOULD help regardless of if that bandwidth is being used.

I can't wait to get my hands on my EVGA GTX 295... too bad the weekend will fuck up the shipping so its more likely Tuesday before I have time to grab it from post office...

I was about to order, but then I came across this:

ATi's new 9.1 beta driver is pulling the X2 ahead in a lot of games espcially in the higher resolutions and with the filters cranked.

hmmmmm, will wait to see how it all settles.

44% performance boost with new drivers to months old card? I will need more than one review to beliee that... I'll start digging out what OC community thinks...

edit: when u look at the other benchies u see the performance increase is not even nearly that big...
