Looks like I'll need a new mobo then
It might be more cost effective to get the Sniper. My board cost me £230.

Hmmm £270 for a mobo, suppose it's not too bad if I can get £100 for mine

£270? Yikes. You can get my board for £230 on the rainforest.
Will it make much difference if the cards are at 16/16/16 against 16/8/8 and 16/8/4?
My board only does 16/8/4.

If you have pci-e 3.0 it should be ok, otherwise i would not recommend it. If you have pci-e 2.0 id go for x16 x8 x8 minimum. Failing that you can try it regardless and DSR if it sucks?
Yeah I got PCI-E 3.0, I'll try it and do some benching, if it sucks I'll order a new board, prepare to be number 2 with tri-fire

Clov!s, arn't you on HW?
Cheapest option is getting a board that can do 3.0 4x. Rather than forking out for a PLX board. Your benchmarks will/should be identical to Matts, as he'll be running 2.0 8x, no difference between the two.

Bring it. Currently it's only me, Dockie and eyetrip as far as i know. #SelectClub
This.
I would urge to steer clear of PLX managed boards, a headache waiting to happen.
I've been flashing bios's frequently on mine with no problem tips. I reckon that problem you had is a Nvidia issue only. I flashed my new 290 without even using it first without any of those problems you had.
@ Clovis - In your case (pci-e 3.0) you can get a cheaper board, but don't be put off by the PLX hate works fine here.
I have trifire as well.
Technically you do mate, but i didn't include you cos you own four AMD gpu's lol. However i feel bad for saying that, so consider yourself on the list.
I need to do that thread, i will get round to that soon.

Suppose I could just go x79/2012
Something I'm considering...along with 4k, a new psu, 2x 290X lightnings, watercooling. Urgh it never ends.
I have the SF platinum 1000w psu same as you, how's yours coping?
You're also toying with the thought of going quadfire, aren't you?

Fine so far. With my cpu @5Ghz and gpu's undervolted a bit at -0.037v and all three cards at stock running crysis 3 max details @1440P with vsync off, peak wattage just over 900W.
