Riddle #1 (option 1)
Based on the 40 pcie lane availability on this cpu/mobo, option 1 is to run 3-way SLI and enable the ultra fast M.2 drive with raid 0 samsungs for storage.
Riddle #2 (option 2)
Based on the 40 pcie lane availability on the cpu/mobo, option 2 is to run Four way SLI, dump the ultra fast M.2 drive and be happy with a Raid 0 ssd array.

Note #1: 4-way sli on a 3 monitor surround does yield performance significant enough to consider with (depending on the driver version) a tiny bit of random issues.

Note #2: GPU/CPU will be covered in blocks which means 3 way GPU overclocking on water could bridge the 4-way performance gap.


Wuttayasay gents? Option 1 or 2?
