Can you list such a board? Just curious I never seen a intel board with that config. Besides it would have to be very expensive.Originally posted by: bryanW1995
that's not true about the 3rd card being bus limited to 4x. usually high end mobos go 16x / 16x or 16x/8x/8x. 8x pci-e 2 is plenty for 4850, so that shouldn't be the limiting factor. I think that the 3x 4850 would be slightly faster, but I'd still get the 4870x2 if it was me.
So that's great lets go from 4x bus bound intel setup to a CPU and 8x bus bound amd setup. Honestly if your looking for tri 4850 you still need to wait for the 4850x2, and do it the right way on x38/x48 MB.Originally posted by: MarcVenice
No such intel chipset exists as far as I know, for real tripple or quad crossfire goodness you'll be looking at a 790fx mobo, that means you have to run a phenom as well. Like this mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16813131291

I have just enough juice for a single HD4870X2. Anymore than that and I would need to upgrade my very nice, barely used power supply. But for more speed I`m almost willing to do anything...
