Hi. I'm going to have a i5 2550k (1155 socket)
And a 7970, yes the 7970. The $600 new HD Radeon.
So I was going to get this, the ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131790
But then I thought for the future, and I will be crossfiring two 7970's sometime 2014. I found that the speed is x16 for one card, and x8 for each when using dual card. (That's Crossfire, right?)
1. I couldn't find any x16 dual card on Newegg. DO THEY EVEN EXIST!!?
2. Will this mobo I have be fine, and does the (x8, x16, etc.) even matter? Is it relavant. For performance.
P.S. Is this clear enough?
