I wanted gigabyte ga z87x ud3h mobo for my build with i5 4670k . But that mobo only support 2 way sli.
So i wanted to know how many way sli (3way or 4way) can be supported by i5 4670k without any bottleneck. I would use gtx 780ti for sli. Depending on how many way sli can be supported by i5 4670 i would buy mobo (3 way or 4way sli supported). Please help me. thank you in advance.
 
Solution
if you want to do SLI with that many (high-end)GPUs you better use the 2011 socket (i.e i7 4930k). they are much better suited for this, and have less bottlenecking.

But i have already bought the i5 4670k . So i have to choose the mobo (3way or 4way) only. On this regard please tell me i5 4670 supports how many way sli(2 or 3 or 4 way) without bottleneck, so i could choose the mobo(2 or 3 or 4 way). Thank you in advance.

I5 4670k has 16 pcie lane which can be configured as 1x16 or 2x8 for pcie3 standard. So only 2 way sli can be happend by 2x8 pcie3 lane.
so i wanted to know is there any feature in any mobo to configure 2 way sli in 2x16 lane and 3 way sli in 3x8 lane and 4 way sli in 4x8 lane though the cpu has only 16 lane? All those pcie lanes have to be pcie 3 standard.
So actually i wanted to know is there any mobo which can provide 32 pcie3 lanes where the cpu (LGA1150) has only 16 pcie3 lanes.
