Z77 Motherboards
 

I was just looking at some of the current, or soon to be current, offerings from the various mfgs. Seems to me like the PCIE slots are screwed up on most of them, looking like SLI may be the limit due to space limitations... I mean, WTF is with that :Dizzy:

ASUS seems to only have released a Maximus V in GENE configuration, at least so far. BUT the EVGA Z77 FTW is definetly a hot looking board that looks like it will accommodate 4 GFX cards :thumbsup:

Should be interesting when ASUS eventually unveils their top of the line version :thumbsup:

Not that I can afford one :thumbdown: but fun to look :D

Im looking for one and prices are crazy

does the ftw only do sli ?

This just came out today from asus http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131822

Don't know for sure about the FTW, but the slot spacing looks like it would accomoodate 4 big cards. All the rest so far look to me that 2 are the max cause of the funky slot spacing.

I saw that ASUS board earlier, but it's not a flagship ROG board ... wonder when we'll get to see that?

I looked at the ftw and it just has the sli badge and only say 4way sli so I'm not sure what's up with that .....

I'm not sure when there is going to be a M5E I haven't waited for mb to cone out on release before.... Anyone has someone in asus # :laughing:

But I want one to run 3x 7970 and a lot of them don't have the pci-e bandwidth... Plus i hate waiting :P

i think it should beable to run cf as well, since it's based on the chipset not the maker (i may be wrong on that) at least that's what i remembered from the olden days

Will support quad for dual GPU's cards but can only fit (3) singels

this board is a top contender for a gaming system, No sure how it would do under extreme conditions

The 3rd pci-e is 2.0 x4 :confused2:

I guess I can wait I just wanted to sell some cards before 7970 get a price cut..... And just notice the FTW is pre order WTF :laugh:

yea 2011 is the ideal solution for quad SLI and QuadFire

But TBH I would not set up a gamer with more than (2) cards

you know if you had the cash to burn you would.... i would with like 5 screens :laughing:

wish the ASUS P8Z77 WS was the M5E cuz CF and Tri dont look so bad with the WS x16/x16; x16/x8/x16 i want it but its so damn ugly :P

the WS boards are pretty solid pieces of hardware, I sent my WS P67 back due to BIOS problems and it was pre B3 stepping

They are not Smack approved though for lack of Bling Bling ............ :laughing:


The ROG solution will be along soon enough guys ...... that should put this subject to sleep as I do not see a Giga Sniper solution either :blink:
