3 way sli motherboard

[Zach's Tech Tips]

Hey linus community I am investing in a new motherboard. It needs to be 3 way sli compatible, ddr4 compatible and needs to be a 2011-3 socket.

Thanks for all your help

Most motherboards on 2011 should be 3 way ready... I would say asus x99's are pretty good.

Msi X99 SLI plus

You're going to need at least a 5930K for proper 3 way. 5820K will do it but at 8/8/8.

 

Pretty much any X99 board will fit the bill. 

 

You should know that 3 way SLI/CFX is sort of stupid because once you go past 2 cards the scaling is so tiny. from 1 to 4 cards it looks like this

 

1-100%

2-170%

3-200%

4-210%

 

After 2 cards the diminishing gains make it a fools pursuit. Except for mining and benching. For gaming it's silly.

Agreed, but won't 8/8/8 be fine?

For PCIe Gen 3 8x is fine. (as of now and maybe for 1-3 years)
