GA-X58A-UD5 xfire & physx

[GJ02]

Is anyone using the above board or the ud7 in a xfire config with a card for physx too ?

i need to know if the card used for physx fits in on the board in the 3rd pcie slot and doesnt hit the usb sockets on the bottom row

I used to have an 8800GT in for Physix (3rd PCIe slot) wih my CF 5870s with no probs

Why did you take it out ?

Just intrested as I am also toying with the idea as well..

No point in me having it in TBH - I was only using it for Vantage, which made any score inadmissible on HWBOT - Its sat on a shelf in my studt gathering dust / acting as a spare card

May pop it back in if anything comes along hat warrants it, but given how close the two 5870s are all it was really doing wsa restricting the fan of the second card :S

Thanks,

Probably won't bother now.....
Well maybe, somethings just have to be tried even though you know...

lol, indeed, its exactly what I did and I now have a spare / backup card

Thanks for replys and clearing this up.
I'm not going to bother until the tine comes should I need to.
Was just concerned about the clearance at the bottom of the mobo and you have confirmed this for me now
many thanks
