scr4wl Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Boards that I've used and liked: Asus Rampage extreme 2 MSI x58 Platinum EVGA E758-A1 EVGA E760 CLASSIFIED I wouldn't do the 3 GPU's as the performance increase really won't be worth the money. What resolution are you playing at? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAJBAMA Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Gigabyte EX58-UD5 -3 way CrossFireX (very good mobo,performance like the rampage only without the fancy gadgets,easier on the wallet too) EX58-UD4P- or this one only 2 way crossfire,the 3xCF is not worth the money.

Glow of fire Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Theres better things to spend money on than a third card in CF. Performance actually drops in some games because of it. Heck, I would say if you really have a couple hundred extra to throw away, get a i7 940. At least it won't degrade performance in anything. and it'll be a 10% constant boost from a 920 versus the third card which will be vary between about +/- 8% performance.

ilikecheese Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 thanks 4 the CF info that could have been nice waste of cash (would look good though). im running 1920 x 1200res also i love my overclocking and want to run at least 4ghz+ on water my current cpu the old Q6600 sits on 4ghz all day @1.55v 45c under load are theses numbers going to work WELL with a 920 or am i dreaming and are the motherbords you pointed out good overclockering.

SAJBAMA Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 For 1080 4870CF is more than enough.i7 920 hits the 4ghz mark pretty easily even on good air cooling so i guess you could aim at the 4-4.4ghz range with water,depends on the chip.I think the EX58-UD4P is a sweet buy for the price ,overclocks well,P6T Deluxe clocks well and so does the rampage all of those boards should let you hit the 4ghz mark with no problems.
