I am building a gaming pc and the motherboard that I have chose is the Asus Maximus V Formula and I was wondering if I could fit three GAINWARD GeForce GTX 680 Phantom II 4GB Graphics Card in triple sli.


This is the motherboard:http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-ThunderFX-Motherboard-PCI-Express-GameFirst/dp/B008H0T8JO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1365762441&sr=8-1&keywords=ASUS+Maximus+V+FORMULA%2FTHUNDERFX


And this is the graphics card:http://www.amazon.co.uk/GAINWARD-426018336-2524-GeForce-Graphics-DisplayPort/dp/B007SDHD70/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1365762160&sr=1-1&keywords=gainward+gtx+680

Well, that motherboard will support 3 GPU's, but they would drop down to x8 and x4 lanes, which would be pointless. You would be better off getting a board with 2 x16 lanes and getting 2 7970's or 2 690's.
