yeah i had a hard time thinking about it too.

However iany think like i did.

You need 3x 16x pci-e. 2 for GPU and 1 for controller.

Now there is no such board with 3x16x unless i go skulltrail. :\

So you get the best single slot card solution you can possibly find, and use the second pci-e for your controller card. And i know the controller card is a MUST.

That is why i went single GPU Solution this time around. Also im tired of SLI, i run dual monitors, and i had hell with my HD3870 Xfire.

So this solution to me seemed the most comfortable with.

Well, I have the DD and it's single slot.

Why is that? Is the throughput on the chipset so far inferior to that which you get on a controller, or is it some other reason?

If you are talking about the I/O bracket it does not come with one
