bcav, since you seem to be a research pro, maybe you can help
i have these two gigabyte boards http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4720#ov and http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3759#ov
im currently using the second one with a 2600k
best i can tell i will need the 2-way long for either board, correct?
one thing i have a question about is the first one only lists crossfire as supported, does that mean i cant use it for sli?
and would it be worth it to upgrade to a 3770k to unlock pci-e 3.0 on the first one?
thanks in advance
 
also, where did you get that nice little diagram of the motherboard?


You are better at this stuff than am I.
It looks like both would be the Long one 60mm.
I know the standard PCIe is 20mm between each but when you add PCI in the Picture then I would need to have a MB to measure.
But keep in mind the all computers cases the Slots in the Rear are also 20mm apart at the center.
Only the GA-Z77-D3H is the one you may have issue with, but then someone hacked a way to SLI on non Supported Motherboards.
GA-P67A-UD4-B3 Shows support for SLI and CrossFireX.
 
"also, where did you get that nice little diagram of the motherboard?" Cut it from the motherboard user manual.
 
Contact Sajin for more info on the Hack, I believe he has the scoop.

The 2-way Long is all I need to complete my build (ASUS SABERTOOTH X99 w/ EVGA GeForce GTX 970 SSCs) -- waiting as patiently as possible for them to become available! Come on EVGA, send me that auto-notification! :-D

3 way. If you scroll back one or two pages, you will see everyone else with the exact same board and answer.

So it would be a 2 way skip a slot (with physx card that doesn't need sli) and then 4card. I think you would need a 4 way, but I am not sure that a 4 way you can skip the 3rd slot and still work.

Test the card in 2 way, then remove the middle fingers. That is exactly what I did, and with 3 of the exact same cards didn't get much difference (780ti's) in games. Using it as just a 3 way setup had a much greater effect. Just use the bridge, and select the center card as PhysX dedicated.

How many companies release a bridge specific for PhysX? I have never seen one, as only a few would actually sell.

I have a three way setup with a fourth card to run another monitor. So its
970 ftw+
970 ftw+
750 ssc
970 ftw+
 
I did not get it for physx, but have to use that configuration to get all the cards in. Its the far right bridge.
