Do you have a Z68 motherboard and run eyefinity?

Does anyone have a Z68 motherboard and run eyefinity? If so what GPU's do you use and motherboard model. Thanks

Hi
Strange question as the ability to run eyefinity is more down to the GPUs than the mobo, any mobo with a sufficient GPU should be able to run eyefinity
What are you after exactly?

I'm guessing he is having problems with the Asrock Z68 Extreme7 Gen3 and the NF200 chip it has when used with more then one card. Others have had same problems with stutter or Eyefinity is flaky.

I would change that Motherboard to an Asrock Fatal1ty Z68 Pro Gen3 intel Z68

I have this board and it's great, never tried AMD cards on it, I did try 2 x gtx 580s on it at one time and it worked perfectly, I borrowed a friends 580 to SLI with mine just to make sure the motherboard works well in SLI and it did.

Are you getting other problems with the Asrock Z68 Extreme7 Gen3 ? Like stutter in games ?

using the extreme 4 gen 3 with SLI 3 screens and it works. Not sure about eyefinity though

Yeah had lots of problems with multi cards and eyefinity, running 3 6970's would just give me lag etc and crossfire never felt smooth, as for the Extreme4.. i had the 1st version and that worked OK on 2 cards but not 100% so i changed to a MSI P67 GD55 and all my problems went so I'm trying to find out if its a z68 or NF200 problem :s would love to use my Extreme7 board with eyefinity but it doesn't look like i can.
