Does this board do SLI?

Basically it says it does do sli on the link above, but on the site if you go MB's, then 1156 (P55) and look at the G65 it doesnt say it does sli whereas the G80 does. I've read on a thread here that it actually doesnt do sli even though it says it does, im looking to run 2 460's on it.

Whats the verdict?

Looking at the specs it does SLI.

I've seen that too, but what others say worries me.

Would i be able to return it if it didnt do sli?

I would thought so, specially as the specs show it can do SLI, I think MSI update the specs for the lower model to show it can't do SLI.

i think it was the gd-55 that doesnt do sli, but these mobo(55/65/80) afaik dont have usb3 or sata 3
the gd65 and 80 does both sli and crossfire unlike the gd55 which only do crossfire

The giveaway is that it says in big white letters on the board...

True PCI-E 2.0 x8 SLI & CrossFireX

Writing on the mobo itself trumps 'someone said'

I have that motherboard - the box says SLI, also (as pointed out above) it is literally written on PCB that it supports "True PCIe 8x SLI". Also, the official website says it supports SLI.

I reckon it might support SLI.

All right calm down, i know it says all that. I just didnt want to go and buy one and then be told that it's common knowledge that it doesnt actually do sli like someone said.

Hi

I have one of these boards and it is sli ready.
It comes with an SLI bridge in the box.
If you get one you have to use the black memory slots first or the board won't post.
