Eh! So does this mean the 3rd card is only running at 8x bandwidth & the other 2 at 16x?
*
8x and 16x have not much diference in speed anyways. I am running on 8x 8x 4x mode

btw don't have lag for me much. Running ultra on 1680 x 1050 with aa off

I just bought another HD6850 as I want to CrossFire already. Sorry for posting in SLi thread. Is Silverstone Strider Gold 750W recommended to run SLi/CrossFire?

Can my current Silverstone Strider 560W have enough juice to support CrossFire mode?
*
I'd say the silverstone should suffice. I ran 6850 crossfire only on CM650w last time but i doubt 560w would provide enough juice

what about 1/4 slot will it affect performance

You can put something in there, but certainly NOT a graphic card

Then you CAN'T use the grey slot for graphic card. For sure your graphic card won't even fit there

i am afraid of heat dissipated from the primary gpu will effect the card below it vmad.gif cause it sits tight on next card.

Then sell your card and get a better single slot card. You won't see any useful benefit by using that last slot

Hi all, my current gaming rig is as in my sig below. 

3.2Ghz AMD Phenom II X4 955
Asus M4A88T-M
2 x 2GB Kingston PC1333
Asus GTX460 1GB DDR5 256bit
60GB OCZ SSD Agility 2
150GB WD VelociRaptor
Corsair H50 Hydro Cooling

I was hoping to be able to play games like Amnesia in full 1920 x 1080 resolution, but found that my video card wasn't powerful enough. 

Problem is, I didn't pick an SLI-enabled mobo to begin with, so now I need to replace the mobo and pick up an extra GTX460 (and upgrade the PSU, if needed).  Can anyone recommend a suitable motherboard? 

What would be the most cost-effective solution here?  Change the mobo and PSU and pick up another GTX460 or just upgrade the video card alone?    I can rationalize it by recycling the mobo and PSU and putting together an extra system.
*

Better get a more powerful single card then spending on a new mobo and trying to find a discontinued card

Means that you can't use that slot for SLi. Must be hardware limitation

firstly, i like to stress that this is my first time build an SLI setup.

ive mounted 2 msi 560gtx ti on my p8z68 v-pro mobo, together with sli bridge, with monitor was hooked at primary (upper gc) dvi socket of the gc, but windows wont boot (monitor shows no signal).

however the win7 will boot;
1) if i take out the 2nd gc
2) or hook the monitor to the dvi of 2nd gc

however nvidia driver did not detect both gc if i go for 2nd step

what is wrong actually?
*
Hmm this board has 2 or 3 pcie graphic slots?

Edit: ah 3 slots. which slots did you use?

sli newbie here...wanna ask ho to refine quad sli or quad crossfire? does it mean u take quad gfx cards and sli it together, or take 2 gtx 590 to sli...since it has dual gpu...2x590 got 4 gpu core=quad core=quad sli?
*

Depends on your motherboard. 2x590 = quad SLi on a dual slot PCi-e 16x mobo and any 4 card on a 4 slot PCi-e 16x mobo can also be called quad SLi
