im building a computer and i am going to put two gtx 660 ti 2gb in the build. i was wondering if this motherboard can supporty sli? http://www.amazon.com/MSI-Motherboard-Z87-G41-PC-MATE/dp/B00D12OBEA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1372192579&sr=8-1&keywords=MSI+Z87-G41+PC+Mate

It only supports Crossfire. Plus, the second PCIe slot is only PCIe 2.0 x4, which will negatively affect performance.

thanks for the help! i have just found one called the Gigabyte Z87X-D3H Intel Z87 and it says sli in the title

Good choice. Just make sure you use the top two PCIe x16 slots, the ones labeled on the mobo "PCIEX16" and "PCIEX8."

how about the MSI 970A-G43 AMD 970 Socket AM3+ ATX Mainboard, can that support two gtx 660 ti? sorry for so many questions, im new to building a computer

What processor are you going with? And that AMD mobo will negatively affect dual-GPU performance, since the second slot is PCIe 2.0 x4, and I do not believe it supports SLI.

im either going with a fx 8350 or i5 4670k, the MSI 970A-G43 AMD 970 Socket AM3+ ATX Mainboard is a amd motherboard, i was wondering if i went with an amd processor

ihog · Jun 25, 2013

Yes, it does. You cannot use AMD processors in Intel mobos and vice versa. Also, check my post again, I edited it.

okay i just have one more question and then ill stop bothering you, is crossfire the same thing as sli? and is it possible to crossfire two nvidia cards?

ihog · Jun 25, 2013

No. Crossfire is the multi-GPU setup of AMD. SLI is nVidia.
