Multiple gpus question

[Numerika]

Hi guys.
I have a question for the hardware gurus of this forum.. I'm about to build a new pc, and I was wondering if my mainboard (this one http://www.overclockers.com/asus-crossh ... me-review/) can handle 3 x nvidia gtx 580.. I mean.. is there enough room on the mainboard to fit all the 3 gpus in the pci-e slots?? I don't know how large the 580 are, so I've to be sure before buying them

The GTX580 is dual slot like most 4xx graphics cards so I'm pretty sure they will fit on that board. Put them in slot one, two and four. It says in that review you posted that it can run 3x16 lanes pci-e which is good, but I read that Lucid multi-GPU doesn't scale as well as normal Nvidia SLI, but this might only be relevant for gaming - really not sure about that, but worth looking in to. http://www.anandtech.com/show/2910/4

You need a lot of case cooling though with three high-end graphics cards, so make sure you have that or take the side off your case!

I wish I could burn as much money as you, dammit!
