As above, whats the top of the top.

Im wondering cause Im yet to find a chipset that supports 4 x16 PCIE, as in you can plug 4 video cards and they all run at x16.

Wouldnt it be killer to have 4 x 4870x2 running at x16? Thats 8 gpu's epic!!
 
Nothing supports 8x gpu's 6x gpu's, or 5x gpu's for that matter, and there wont be, quad gpu's is all that is supported so far via drivers, the X58 Foxconn Reniasannce has 4 pci-e slots, and core i7, but if you loaded 4 GTX295's into it, you wouldnt be able to run sli, but it would be an awesome folding farm....
 
i know the k9a2 motherboard(i think thats a 790fx chipset) can support 4 9800gx2's/4 gtx 295's, but its not useful for much more that a folding farm, and i think that only works because the nvidia gpu's are supported by quadro, and the 4870x2's don't work very well/if at all
 
Nah the 790fx, has four x16 PCIE but if you plug four cards into it it all goes x8. I got my Asus M4A79T Deluxe (790FX) yesterday lol.

But it can do duel x16
 
Yeah, there are alot of boards that have 4 pci-e slots, but as i stated before the best your gonna get is quad sli. Another reason that afaik scaling between 3 and 4 gpu's isnt that much, let alone adding in more.
