Think it will be possible like the previous generation?

Castiel weren't you going to get the GTX 590?

I thought he had 2 GTX 580's

He did but I think he sent 1 back or something cause they wouldn't fit on his MOBO. (He got the triple slot ASUS models).

Ah, well best of luck to him on what ever he settles on.

Thank you. What i'm thinking about is just returning it and getting a 6970 and a 6990 and just trifire.. Thats if the 590 doesn't blow off the doors of the 6970

I don't see why they can't work together unless the 6990 has some different hardware, but I doubt that and the scaling looks awesome, if those aren't bogus slides.

Why wouldn't they fit on a board like the P8P67 Pro? It seems like those boards are set up specifically for tri-SLI/tri-Crossfire.

I'd be confident they'll work together, I've no evidence to back it up but if they were breaking with tradition I think we'd know about it.
