ok what's intel's best processor

ok what's intel's best processor 

 the i7 5960x which uses the x99 LGA 2011-3 board. I'd go with a asus x99 deluxe if I were going to get that cpu

cool thanks

by the way, how many graphic cards can it support

3 for sure

6

6

:blink:

 

it has 6 PCI-E lanes but you only can run 4 GPUs

 

how are you gonna squeeze 6 GPUs onto the board???

Some gpu take just one slot.

 It has 40 PCIe lanes. Please don't mix up up lanes and slots.

topsu was mentioning about the mobo support 6 GPUs which is not possible even with X99 boards

 

yes i know the 40 lanes for GPUs

 

it means you can only support GPU at X16 X8 X8 X8 for 4 way SLi and CF

 

and GPU drivers only support 4 GPUs max in SLi and CF

I know.   I was just pointing out that you used the word "lane" incorrectly in that post. You either meant "6 slots" or "enough lanes for 6" or something like that, but you said "it has 6 lanes" - which is incorrect, and that's why I asked you to be a little more precise (there's already too much confusion about PCIe lanes out there, as can be seen in many threads around here.).
