best x79 motherboard for quad gpu setup

goldman919 · Apr 22, 2014

my current plan is 3x sli titan blacks and a 770 sc for physx. i plan to use the x79 chipset so i was hoping someone could recommend the best mobo for quad gpu use. Is there one with x16/x16/x16/x16 or x16/x16/x16/x8.

M0j0jojo · Apr 22, 2014

I really recommend this board cuz you'll be working with 3 GTX Titans and GTX 770 http://www.amazon.com/Asus-Intel-Motherboard-P9X79-E-WS/dp/B00CFCTJ3K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398208835&sr=8-1&keywords=P9X79+e+ws

i'v narrowed it down to your suggetion and the rampage iv black. what im wondering now is will the pcie 3.0 x8 bottleneck the titan blacks? theres a few things i like better about the rampage but my #1 priority is the titans not getting botllenecked so if the x16/x8/x8/x8 will run everything with no bottlenecks then im getting that.

I have a feeling that it might bottleneck the performance a bit because there are a lot of cards. It would be alright if you only used like 2 cards on 3.0 x8. How many monitors are you using?

M0j0jojo :

3x 28 inch 4k monitors
the model is asus ud590d
and ill probably use 1 display port 1.2 per titan as thats what i saw a guy did with his quad sli titan black rig

Yea If I were you I would go with 3.0 x16 to get the best of performance in gaming. Thought I do like the color scheme of the motherboard. But I rather have better performance than a cool look.

ya idc about how it looks at all, the integrated audio, included software, the chipset fan and the extra usb 3.0 ports are the things that i like better about the rampage but most important thing to me is that the titans dont get bottlenecked. im j ust having a hard time finding anything stats on pcie 3.0 bottlenecking, i see plenty of things about pcie 2.0 and cpu bottlenecking.

This is also another board you can look at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157327 that supports 4 3.0 X16 slots. a bit more expensive than the asus one buy has everything u wanted i think
