can this motherboard take crossfire and SLI?

thanks

Crossfire yes.
But don't. The graphic cards are way too close

The board can take both.

I think you need to flash the BIOS to get SLI though..

Or at least that's what it says in the description on the shop website here.

"- SLI Support with latest Gigabyte BIOS ".

Looking on the Gigabyte website there are 2 revisons out 1.0 & 1.6, on Ver 1.0 they updated the BIOS March, so hopefully all new boards should have the newer BIOS or Rev 1.6.

Is the UDR3 better than the MSI X58M ?
