XBgamer, I have GRID in storage somewhere lol.

I am not sure if I need a pair of Video card with SLI enabled but they can only run full speed 16x lanes and second one 8x lanes while SLI.

I couldn't find any mobo that support full 16x 16x SLI anywhere ?

BTW, I could buy used other GTX 260 or one single GTX 460 1GB less $150 in the future, If I bought used GTX 260 then I have to look for new motherboard with SLI *sigh*

I have GRID too and this game rocks.

Codemasters is doing good job with SLI support, unlike Rockstars does.

 

[Zeroblazer21]

ohh you're looking for a 16x16?

 

[Zeroblazer21]

amd or intel?

 

[Zeroblazer21]

if it's amd.. try this one Newegg.com - ASUS M4N98TD EVO AM3 NVIDIA nForce 980a SLI ATX AMD Motherboard

Not hard to find 2 PCIE X16 motherboard on newegg.
Newegg.com - EVGA 121-BL-E756-TR LGA 1366 Intel X58 Micro ATX SLI Micro Intel Motherboard

That's Intel motherboard with SLI/CF.

Newegg is awesome place to buy parts to upgrade or build the PC.

 

[Zeroblazer21]

ohhh... yup i love neweggs

Pretty much any x58 motherboard or x55 (1156) supports CF/SLI -- no need to hunt down specific motherboards -- if a x58 motherboard says it's SLI compatible, it's a marketing scam.

Secondly, even 8x8 is more than enough for dual graphic gaming. Check out Hardforum, guy there did a test on CF 5870 in 8x8 and 16x16 -- he only lost like what, .5-2 fps?

And 5870 are pretty beefy compared to 460 or 260.

Well thx for info and I have no experiences with SLI stuff.
