Budget gaming motherboard crossFire ready.

[matt2k]

Hey, Im lookin to upgrade my mobo, had a look around but crossfire ready gaming mobo's suitable for overclocking are hard to find in the lower price rangess. Speakin of which, the range im lookin in is up to £80/90. I've found these three:

ASRock P45R2000-WiFi
DFI 680i LT NF-680i LT SLI
Asus P5N32-E SLI Plus

Any thoughts and suggestions will be greatly appreciated, cheers.

Thought: The words 'budget' and 'crossfire' dont really go together...

Just my $0.02

CrossFire ready?
the 2 second models are SLI ready not CrossFire.

You need a motherboard with 2 PCI-E Slots, preferably 2.0 slots with 8x bandwidth on each slot, that isn't NVidia. The nForce drivers prevent the running of Crossfire and thus you need modified drivers to run Crossfire on an nForce board. Getting a board with one 16x slot and one 4x slot will give you uneven bandwidth and less performance than two 8x slots.

Go with the ASRock board.
