EVGA P55 Classified 200 Preview @ BenchTec (Part 2)

[Lutze3D]

Does it make any sens to put 3 HD5870's at CrossfireX(3)? Or 2 HD5970's at Quadfire? Or maybe 3 GTX480's at Tri-SLI..?

Because I think for GPU's of this caliber it's still better to run them on a X58 Board. I don't think the 1156 CPU's and this NF200 Chip are strong enough to support such a GPU Circus.

@Lutze3D I think if you can afford these graphics cards then you can afford to buy an X58 board and choose the better CPU's and Triple channel DDR3. ;-)

If you wanted to buy an i5 750 or i7 860, this board would work with all 3 options.

[Lutze3D]

@richardpawley Thanx for the answer :-)

So you think, if I'll put an i7 860, the board can run them all, without losing any GPU Performance or something. Because I've allready ordered the board and the i7 and maybe sometimes I will put more GPU's on it. I will try it on a P55 ;-) It's just to know if it makes any sens, becouse I didn't find any similar Rigs on the Internet to compare. Only Multi-GPU-X58 Monsters.

Nice review. I want to buy this board so much but it's impossible to get it in Poland :-(

5*

Are there any EU retailers that will post to Poland? Maybe you can find a friend who lives in Germany and get them to post it to you?

It is a great board, I'm very impressed.

i bought this chip and it is freaking awesome!! it is high quality,looks cool, and it is the best chip i ever had!!

[BenchTecUK]

I'm glad you like it, I use mine all the time.

This board is really great for the new 32nm dual core CPUs - the Core i3/i5's.

I want one but the wife said no :(

[BenchTecUK]

Buy one, and a bunch of flower/chocolates for her... ;-)

[TokerMate]

So this board does not support the Core i7? the 1366 chip or whatever the number is?
