Spot on, the reference GPU designs aren't my taste.

No worries for me, I wasn't planning on it. I got one PCIE 3.0 x16 (in use) andRemember you will going to lose slight performance (8-12%) when xfire as second slot of your mobo runs at pci exp 2.0 x4 speed,though it not noticeable.just my
one PCIE 2.0 x16 for crossfire. No more then 2 cards for crossfire for me. The rest of expansion slot for add-ons such as PCI fans.
hehehe good point.what should amd name after hd 9000?

if you install two gpus on your mobo one will run at X16 speed and the other will run at x4 speed.
Buddy iam talking about Pci x16 xfire slot
It runs at Pci exp 2.0 x16 (x4 mode)
ah, I see. The second card will not be faster then one in PCIE 3.0 slot.
Does SLI get the decrease as well?

sli is not even supported by that mobo.
I know, just out of curiosity.

most mobo which support sli/CF operates at X8/X8 speed which is better than X16/X4 but the real world advantage is not noticable much,i guess. the mobo i have seen which works at X16/X16 is amd m5- a99fx pro. most others do at x8-x8
I see. Thanks for the heads up. Good to know. Okay my last question will my PSU will be able to utilize 2x dual GPU crossfire? That's practically quad crossfire with less slots, but more heat and wattage. Will it maintain?
