Now that GTX 480's benches have come and gone and i have made up my mind to get a 5870 powered rig. This means i can choose form a variety of mobo's.
Well i have selected the following possible config's for my PC:
Asrock X58 Extreme3
Intel i7 930
3GB DDR3 kit "G.Skill"
2*500GB hdd "dual RAID0 arrays"
2*5870 2GB
or
Asrock 890GX Extreme3
AMD 1055T
2*2GB DDR3 kit "OCZ"
2*500GB hdd "dual RAID0 arrays"
2*5870 2GB
Now the problem is that both X58 Extreme3 and 890GX Extreme3 have 3 PCIe slots and that means a single 4x slot is left for physx with GT 240.
In the local shop i have to pre order either of the boards before they stop the pre-orders and i cant wait too long because i have store credit that will go bad in a few days time.
Will 4x be enough for a GT 240 to compute physx... :shrug:
