    Intel Boards using Crossfire

    Just wondering how you find out if a intel board can use Crossfire, cause if I can crossfire with this motherboard

    http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6813131700

    I would be one happy camper, where do you go to find out if you can crossfire or not?

    Why choose when you can have both?
    SLI or CrossFireX? Fret no longer because with the ROG Maximus IV Extreme, you´ll be able to run both multi-GPU setups. The board features SLI/CrossFireX on Demand technology, supporting SLI or CrossFireX configuration. Whichever path you take, you can be assured of jaw-dropping graphics at a level previously unsee

    Caveat Emptor - Thats the older P67 Chipset.

    This is the Z68 board of the same name... http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_1155/Maximus_IV_GENEZ/

    I'd go with that chipset if you're set on a Maximus Board.

    Sometimes measuring the bottleneck can be interpreted in so many ways. The only Thing ATI can render better then Nvidia is BSoD.

    IMO, if your not going to use SDDs then the Z68 board isnt worth the extra $. The Z68 boards allow you to use an SSD as caching for HDDs. In other words you get SSD speeds with HDD storage capacity!!

    Did you look at the ones he linked? Its cheaper because its mATX not Extended ATX.

    Here they are again by price cheapest first:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813131759 which is a micro atx board $169.99
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813131700 this is the p67 chipset and extended atx $309.99
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813131760 this is the z68 chipset and extended atx $334.99

    Well, isn't the difference between a mini atx and a extended just the space between the parts? making it easier fits?

    mATX is 9.6" by 9.6". Has less components on it like PCI-e 2.0. E ATX is 12" x 10.6".
