I do think you need a BR though! AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, Corsair Mp700 Pro M.2, 64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5 X670E Steel Legend, MSI RTX 4090 Associate Code: H5U80QBH6BH0AXF.

It is way overrated. Maybe further down the road when more games begin to utilize it but as of right now or the immediate future, don't waste your money on one Core i7 920 4.3 Ghz D0 3910A369, EVGA 758 x58, 6GB OCZ DDR3 1600 Gold, 2 GTX 470 SLI, Antec TPQ 1000 Watt, Custom Cosmos Case HEATWARE: http://www.heatware.com/eval.php?id=68361 #10

Sooo much cleaner than what my case can do. As far as your question, my recommendation is No. What I would do is set it to be 2x SLI and use the 3rd GTX 470 as a physX. That my opinion. Since 1 GTX 470 can play any game (that I know of) on max setting, 2 is borderline overkill. The 3rd can be physX and you should have a stable 60-80+ FPS in just about every game with beautiful physX Side tracking a bit. BR was well deserved. You have my dream setup! Everything you have except for the MB is everything I wanted but had to settle for a bit less. Question: Is that a 4x SLI? You look like you have plenty of space for a 4th card #12

You look like you have plenty of space for a 4th card Well my motherboard doesn't support 4x SLI.. Unfortunately.. Either does the GTX470. Atm I'm running them as 3-way SLI.. But I think of adding a fourth card to handle PhysX.. In Nv controlpanel I've set the third GPU to handle PhysX but it is not dedicated to PhysX. I think that is better than 2x SLI + third card dedicated to PhysX. New Member=? (who wants to get the best start here at EVGA?) (click here) YOU got the chance to see "The LEGO-House!" (build by MR.
