The multiple PCI-E slots will likely be of little use to me though at the moment since I'll never run more than dual SLI or Crossfire and right now I will be installing a single card 4870 1GB unless I keep my HD4870x2.


I want to say the Classified would OC better because the newer ones got rid of that nf200 chip. Heard nothing but complaints about it and EVGA released one w/o that chip because of heat/ and OC'ing ability i think.

This board got two of them... Good for SLI/Crossfire performance, MAY be a little worse for OC'ing that the Classified.

I won't say that either is better because I've never tried either to give ya a good benchy. Both boards seem like they'll hit 4.2Ghz to 4.5Ghz w/o any effort.
