Does the eVGA X58 SLI LE support Crossfire?

[Avalon]

I checked their product page and their Newegg entry, but I don't see any mention of Crossfire support, just SLI. As I understand, all X58 boards support Crossfire, so would this be an exception or am I safe to assume this also supports Crossfire?

it will support it, but since evga makes nvidia cards they rarely come and say the support crossfire.

one issue you may run into is the crossfire cable, on the EVGA P55 FTW the slots are too far apart for a standard bridge (at least that's what it looks like in the pictures, mine arrives on Friday) an Asus extended Crossfire cable can be had on ebay for around $20 and will work fine. I dont know if this will be an issue on the x58 SLI LE

One other thing to consider, depending on which ATI cards you use, is that the X58 SLI LE only has one x16 PCIe slot. The next greatest slot is x8. I don't believe this will create a bottleneck for anything less than the HD58XX cards.

Meh, looking at this review, provided on another post, it seems current games can hardly tell the difference between PCIe 2.0 x8 and PCIe 2.0 x16. More of a forward looking issue to consider.
