I'm currently in the process of upgrading from tri sli gtx 280s to 5870 tri fire, im curious as to wether the classified board will offer 3 pci 2.0 x16 lanes running at full speed ? Or if it will be the same outcome as my current e758 evga x58 board i got at launch which is x16,x16,x8 if im not mistaken. I'm just looking to not bottleneck the 5870s if possible. Any insight is appreciated, thnx.
 
I think you'll be needing a board with the nf200 chip if you want x16 to three cards. I dont know if the e759 is still available (it was considered a 'limited edition'). Read up on nf200 before you buy though. It has been rather unpopular - for the added cost and the additional heat it generates.
 
Yeah the nf200 classified version is no longer available. But thanks for the link DrNick, thats exactly what i was wondering, just how much a x8 lane would affect a card. Looks like i'll keep my currnet board till my next upgrade, which is still a great overall x58 mobo. Thnx guys :).
