Best mobo for two HD 4870 x2...?

[dev23d]

hi everyone,

Presently im using two gtx 280 cards with evga 790i mobo...
My machine is a devil and im fully satisfied with it but after reading HD 4870 x2
reviews, I want to use them.....my problem is that if i use 4870 x2 cards, which
motherboard should i use?

two mobos are in my mind.....

asus p5e3 premium wifi

or

asus rampage extreme

I would say the Rampage is an easy winner there. :thumbsup:

Yes and mine has arrived in Jamaica but I have to wait until Gustav clears to get it.

ASUS P5E Deluxe X48. I'll see how that performs first, then maybe I'll flash it to Rampage Formula to see if I can eke out any more performance out of it.

cool

that is the one i am buying also
- next week .. and a new Dual Core; i guess my next QC will be Neha

damn .. you start with an upgrade from 16x10 to 19x12 and i find my 4870 is insufficient. So i upgrade to 4870x2 and find my CPU @ 3.33Ghz is also insufficient. Then i decide to run X3 and find my MB is also deficient.



don't start upgrading
- best advice!!!
