toast Posted November 16, 2008 (edited) would i be able to put 3 ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 on to a Asus Rampage II Extreme Edited November 16, 2008 by toast Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kingdingeling Posted November 16, 2008 Mate, there's problems with running dual 4870X2 because it's hard enough to synchronize the four cores after each other, but SIX video card cores? No mate, that doesn't work! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toast Posted November 16, 2008 so would 3 way sli be better BFG GeForce GTX 280 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damian Posted November 16, 2008 No that would not work either. The Asus Rampage is an X48 motherboard and is not SLI ready. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toast Posted November 16, 2008 so would u say dual 4870X2 is better Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damian Posted November 16, 2008 Dual 4870x2 = horrible scaling in games, and only befinical in resolutions *above* 1920X1200 3 way SLI = Microstutter How about just SLI or Crossfire? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Waco Posted November 16, 2008 so would u say dual 4870X2 is better Throwing money at it won't help. A single 4870X2 / regular SLI setup has trouble scaling for many things, putting more cards in the mix just makes things worse. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toast Posted November 16, 2008 so why do the sell them to do that and why do in reviews 3 way sli 280 beat dual 4870x2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
