maximus iv extreme z / quad sli?

[jonspad]

Hello,

I have the ASUS Maximus IV Extreme -Z - LGA 1155 - Z68 - Republic of Gamer Series - ATX Intel Z68 ATX DDR3 2200 Motherboard (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131760) currently with the GTX 590. I was wondering if I add a second GTX 590 on this board would it support it? The reason I ask is because the board "Supports NVIDIA® 3-Way SLI™ Technology" --- however, it is my understanding when you run the GTX 590 in SLI it is considered a QUAD-SLI setup. Does that mean this board will not support this kind of setup? Also, if it will support it, will I have a performance loss as a result of the 3-Way SLI limitation or other limitations set by the board?

Appreciate any insight regarding this, thanks!

The supporting of 3-way does not preclude 4-way with dual GPU cards. All that means is that there is an appropriate number of slots and enough space for 3 cards. You should be fine with your configuration and as long as you use the SLI bridge you should get full performance.

I will also make sure to add some extra power on the motherboard molex connectors
