Hi guys, I am currently using a z97 pc mate mobo. It does not support SLI. My current gpu is a msi gtx 970 oc. It is a beast of a card but seeing games like witcher 3 and gta v coming out soon, I don't think I can run them well with just 1 card. Any cheap and good mobos that support sli to recommend?

Cpu: Intel i5 4690k l Mobo: msi z97 pcmate l GPU: MSI Gtx 970 4gb OC l PSU: CM V550 l RAM: RipJaws 8gb l Case: NZXT H440 l Cooling: CM Hyper 212x l Storage: Crucial mx100 128gb ssd l OS: Windows 7 l Keyboard: CM storm quickfire ultimate(Blue) l Mouse: Razor Mamba l Display: Some shitty samsung monitor

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

If anything, GTA V might have a bad port and not support SLI. Keep your 1 979, but if you want to SLI, get a GIGABYTE Z97X-SLI or MSI Gaming 3/5

@NeatSquidYT Yea but the graphics is probably gonna be damn demanding. Are you sure they wont support SLI? Considering how much shit ubi is taking right now for their laziness

Witcher probably definitely will, but GTA V is a bit risky. Seeing how bad the PC port was on the release of IV, I wouldn't risk it. Maybe give it a month to see what the community has to say about the SLI support.

Edit: after the games release
