As OPB shows some time ago, MSI boards feature one pci-e x16 slot plus one more x2 slot that works ok to run SLI cards.

but its not the same as 8/8 right? does it work with the latest drivers? i thought nvidia blocked all other attempts to run sli if its not 8/8 in the latest drivers?

johnny, does it work with the latest drivers as well?
and how big is the difference between 4/8(?) and 8/8? can you check with another sli board at stock speeds? :) thx a lot for the infos so far! :toast:

Sayaa you cant use this mobo to run sli with x850xt :banana: :banana:

the diference in porformance is not that big, i think in anandtech they did several tests to show the diference. (using a dfi ultra@sli)

Yes! ;)

to saaya:
n-Vidia Display Driver version locked SLi model:
71.XX already to let outside X8/X8 cancel SLI after (even if were SLI CHIPSET)
66.75 locked ULTRA CHIPSET afterwards
70.90 locks 16X/2X

You guys seem so excited about burst speeds. Take it easy - it doesn't really translate into any real-world performance ;)

Nice mod, though for future drives!

Yes, I just thought it was a curious result -- maybe shows what SATAII has in store?

Fugger uses them, you can get them at Fry's Electronics retail in the US.
