I thought it was the folding client that was fail for ATI/AMD cards as after a few generations ago newer cards showed no difference in performance so something like a 3850 is about as good as a 5870 due to fail software as I'm pretty sure a 5870 is at least a little more powerful than a 3850

It's not just the folding client, it's the fact that ATI's software implementation is a joke, the other problem is the drivers for ATI themselves don't play nice with the F@H client, even when you force the client to use the ATI drivers instead of the generic drivers from F@H, it makes a whopping 0 difference.

8 PCI-E slots? Nice.

8 single slot water cooled 580's?

That's one monster of a board, if it were possible to run and cool 8 580's it would make a folding farm in a case

No .. .

As 460's or even 450's would put a 5850 to shame, example 1 GTX 470 folds over 13,000 PPD, my 4870x2 folds 4,200 ppd that's over 3x the ppd for a card that's about 10%'ish less powerful! AMD is a giant fail for GPU folding.

Uh bear jesus did say 580, meaning Nvidia GTX580 :laugh:

8 of them ...that pretty much would be a guaranteed BEAST.

I never even noticed that and just started rambling on about why AMD/ATI cards fail so hard with folding.

I did indeed mean GTX580's as i think EVGA does single slot 580's with water blocks meaning 8 would fit although powering them would be a problem :laugh:

I see, well I don't blame myself . .. or the eggnog, but I do blame the brandy for being so delicious that I had like 8 glasses. :confused:

Now if only they can get their dyes right and make their boards pitch black rather than a hideous brown.

Dunno - looks cool - but must see Z67 boards to make best buy

Two bulls are standing on a hill looking down at a pasture full of cows....
The young bull says let's run down there an fill one of those slots..
The old bull says let's saunter down there and fill them all.

Powering 8, gtx580's, would be like needing 4 power supplies and a dedicated hardwired 50 amp circuit. MSI would need to send an electrician with the purchase of the motherboard.

It will not support 8GPUs. I think in few next years there will not be mobos which will it. This pretty board can do 4GPU @ x8/x8/x8/x8 mode

What! That sounds like a challenge!
