AMD/ATI system

Can an AMD CPU/chipset handle 2x 5970s, or will they bottleneck two of those bad boys?

Thanks

nope.. the 790fx is the performance amd chipset if you want to look at that..

Indeed. It would be silly if they couldn't use their own cards fully. There are other mobo's that can with just 2. IIRC the 790fx is for all x16 with 3 or 4 graphics in crossfire.

Yep, works great. I tried it with two 5970 that belong to a friend for a few days before getting my two 5850 (couldn't afford the two 5970 )

Check the mobo in my sig ...
