crossfire with p8p67-m?

[rtmoose]

hey ive gotten so much conflicting info on this subject...

this is my motherboard http://www.canadacomputers.com/produ...item_id=036949

it SAYS 2x pci-e 16x slots, but people have told me the 2nd slot is actually only capable of 4x... is that true?

secondly would i be able to run another HD6850 in a 4x slot to see any performance increase?

lastly, obviously if my board has 2 16x slots i should be able to crossfire correct?

thanks for any help

Your MB supports crossfire. The slots are 16x and 4x like others have told you. You would notice a performance increase running crossfire. The 4x hit isn't as bad as it sounds.

so then another video card in crossfire would be my best choice to economically upgrade my system..?

If you need more GPU power then crossfiring a pair of 6850's would be an options. That is your upgrade goal isn't it. What's the rest of your rigs specs.
