Bottlenecks Pci-e + Cpu

Ah nvm ^^ remembered about PLX craps...

when did nvidia remove support for 4x SLI?

 

Yeah i was kinda thinking about that, you cannot triple Sli on Z series chipset boards, unless it has a plx chip.

But you can do 4way sli with 2 dual gpu´s on one pcb cards. at 8x

 

But basicly for triple sli or quad sli with 4 single cards! you need X79 /X99

I have no idea what you just said.

I was talking about something else to someone else it doesn't matter and the double that was just a mistake

Same stupid statement that i read allot: "you should go intel Z87 /Z97 over AMD 990FX because 990FX is an old chipset and only has pci-e 2.0...."

But those people dont same to realise that the 20 pci-e 3.0 lanes you get on Z87/Z97 are just as fast as the 40 pci-e 2.0 lanes you get with the AMD 990FX chipset. it doesn´t make a jackshit diffrence.

Unless you buy those realy over expensive Z97 boards with a useless plx chip, gimmicky thingy.

 

Couldn't have said it better myself, we could argue this all day but at the end of the day you won't notice the difference in real world usage. PCI Gen 3 is purely paving the way for the far distant future.

How dare you insult the MSI Z97 PC MATE!!

How dare you insult the MSI Z97 PC MATE!!

 

why?

The Msi Z97 PC-mate does not have a plx chip

Only the Msi Z97 Xpower has a plx chip, on the Msi side.
