My recommendation since it has both crossfire and SLI support. You might have to update the bios tho. Hope this helps and also please remember to select the best solution so that others may learn from this thread. Thank you for your time.

Opps, looks like I'm starting to slip a little second wrong answer in a row, wow..anyways that motherboard shouldn't have any problems at all. Looks like you solved your own problem that is rare.
