does this motherboard suport crossfire for games??

or does it just support it for other uses.

asking becuase i didnt get a crossfire bridge in the box.. fairly gutted as im guessing u cant use crossfire

thats my upgrade out the window..

It does support crossfire but not in 16x in the second lane. 4x I think.

Some one wiser than me will tell you if it'll impact performance much.

I would have thought that it would.

The crossfire bridges will (should) come with your graphics cards, not with the motherboard.

It does support crossfire, but not as well as say an X38 board (2x16 lanes)

so would it be a waste of time getting 2 of the new ATI cards?

is there no drivers that can allow me to have 2 16x speed slots or something like that?

+just how much would it decrease the performance of the second card?

thanks.

Crossfire does work, but no there aren't any 'special drivers' as you say.

Have a search around on the 'net. There are benchmarks for P35 based crossfire if you look. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
