Gives you 4 pcie slots to run 4-way SLI or crossfire X on the Rampage 3 Extreme or other compatible asus motherboards.

I have a feeling it would work with any board with the slots in the right position. Not that there are many other boards out there worth using that don't support quad-sli out of the box :D

I'm thinking the same thing.

If you can get the bios code right, as to recognise the Expander board, yep then you might achieve it...

Nice setup Hazzan :)

Nice monster setup. How much does the Xpander go for (USD)?

:O very nice setup :P
and nice little review :clap:

Thta set up means serious bussiness Hazzan:up:

The expander raises the cards right?

Won't this mean they will never align properly inside a case?

Fails except for open board benching..

What a waste of 2 NF200 chips.

Edit: Added a d to board.

is that even possible 12 way SLI lol? @ hazzan nice scores man 55k on the gpu dammm!

nice benchy mr hazzan...good setup 16x4 works very well :up:

This is clearly meant for benching...

Though if Nvidia would get off their damn high horse and allow you to run 4-way SLI at x8/x8/x8/x8, you wouldn't need this. But why would they do that when they make money off every NF200 sold? It's got a be a gold mine for them.

Nvidia Tax.
