Can someone tell me how this board supports 4 AMD graphics card while having only 6 PCIe x16 slots? Each card will take one slot and cover the following one. How can the motherboard in this build support 4 of them? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/dzrTxr
I really need to know ASAP since I don't want to purchase an extra W9100 and not use it.

Thanks.

You can plug 4 GPUs, but they would need to be single slot not to cover the next one, if you are using dual slot cards you can only use 3 of them.

It can't.

But if you bought 2 R9 295X cards, then there would be a 4 way SLI. I know that was not your question, but with this motherboard, that is the only way I can see to do it.

The only alternative that I see is just going triple SLI.

I don't know what you are trying to do, but if a single CPU would work for you, there are a small number of EATX (Extended ATX) motherboards out there with 8 slots, and the case needs to have 9 slots on the back to support this setup, but as long as you have those, and get cards that take up no more than double width, then you can do quad SLI on a single board
