mga boss, medyo mahal2 man ni nga mobo. ask ta ko kung medyo bo barato2 lang mga 4-5k..
boss unsa kahay maayo nga ipares aning black edition? mupalit man gud ko next week....salamat

This will do if you could find one.

powera ana nga mobo uy... 4 ka pci-e slot... crossfire pud nimo ani, 4 kabuok...

Yeah heres how those PCI-E woks

Slots

• 2 mazarine PCI Express x16 slots (PCI Express Bus SPEC V2.0 compliant; supports CrossFire Technology)
• 2 light-blue PCI Express x16 slots with x8 operations (PCI Express Bus SPEC V2.0 compliant; supports CrossFire Technology)
• When 4 PCI Express x16 slots are all installed, the PCIE x 16 lanes will auto arrange form x16/ x0/ x16/ x0 to x8/ x8/ x8/ x8
• 1 PCI Express x1 slots
• 2 PCI slots, support 3.3V/ 5V PCI bus Interface.

Its really not that viable to put 4 crossfire cards there since it will just be 8x for each. But it does have the capability of 2x16x setup.

kind beats the entire purpose of going quad xfire and just getting dual instead..

altho that isnt xfire data presented above, but you get the idea..



EDIT:
Performance would only drop if the local VRAM of the card is insufficient to run the game, if the VRAM is more than sufficient. the performance from 4x to 16x is negligible

heres the conclution to the website you reffered:

The conclusion of our 2004 PCI Express analysis was simple: x4 PCIe bandwidth typically was sufficient to run single graphics cards without creating an interface bottleneck. At that time, x8 or x16 link widths were not necessary, and AGP was still powerful enough.

However, the situation clearly is different today, as we found that only four PCI Express links are no longer adequate. Although there are differences between ATI/AMD and Nvidia, and between games and professional graphics, most applications deliver best performance at x16 PCI Express speeds. The two 3D games we used - Quake 4 and Call of Duty 2 - certainly cannot be called demanding these days, yet they benefit somewhat from faster link speeds. The professional benchmark SPECviewperf 9.03 was the real eye-opener, as it categorically disqualifies PCI Express link speeds below x16.

The benchmark results make pretty clear that chipsets and motherboards need to be capable of supporting all graphics cards at the full x16 PCI Express speed. If you run high performance graphics cards on inadequate interfaces such as PCI Express x8, you give away performance.

So the PCI-E lane bandwidth would matter for todays graphically intensive application or games.

They were testing Quake 4 and COD 2 which if you compare single and mutli-GPU hardly has any difference and hardly benifited with the 16x width.
But when comes to next genaration of graphically intensive games its a different story.

i wonder if pcie v2.0 will be compatible w/ v1.0a. any idea guys? or its only backward compatible to v1.1
