how many crossfires does it take to make you "omfg wtf are you mad?!"

real question here, can i run 4 cards on my 8350? i thought i may have read something stating only two could run on an 8350 and the m5a99fx pro 2.0 mobo from asus.
but im not sure. i dont recall 100% i would really enjoy 4 cards because why the hell not.
it looks dope.

so, anyone know how many cards i can run on my 8350?
really thinking about the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102998

One huge penis is better than a few small ones. And most girls don't like it in more than one hole. I know it's a bad illustration, but I hope you get the picture...

No, the 8350 will often bottleneck the 2nd card so 4 is silly. If you want to run that many GPU's then you have to jump onto the 2011 X79 platform and a processor that wont bottleneck those cards.
I don't know if the chipset supplies enough PCI lanes for 4 cards?

On top of that you will encounter zero or negative scaling and the PSU required.....

oh wow, bottle neck a second card o_O thats not good.
i was really hoping for quad cards. and some cards are compatable with non pcie 3.0 such as the hd 7850.
i was not able to find any info on crossfire or quadfire.
i was afraid of this.

the chipset could be an issue.

quadfire does indeed mean 4 cards right?
i saw a post with a guy that had an 8350 annd claimed quadfire 7770's running number 11 in the world.
or maybe 7850's not sure.
but i know he claimed quadfire and thats what got me really thinking about it.

Quadfire is 4GPUS, but is inefficient. If you want POWER then go with 2 high end cards like the R9 290x, TITAN, GTX 780 and R9 280x. Quadfire 7770's doesn't sound that well informed to me, he is going to have lot crossfire issues. On top of this, he still only commands 2GB of Vram as it Doesn't stack, rubbish for such a demanding system. You can crossfire 2 cards with the 8350, its a good CPU but it bottlenecks on some CPU heavy games like Skyrim.

If you Want to go "BEAST" then something like this:

i7 4930k
ASUS IV Rampage Extreme
16GB DDR3 ram 2400mhz
2x R9 290x or 2x TITAN
HX 1050w PSU
3x 27inch 1080p monitors.
