[wa34]

Hi!
which one u think is good board for crossfire gaming? ASUS M4A89GTD PRO or ASUS M4A78T-E ? is the M4A89GTD PRO worth paying more (the other board is cheaper to me)?
thx!

You can use Crossfire on ANY motherboard that has dual PCI-e X16 or X16/X8.

You are not relegated to using an all AMD platform......unless you want to.

I use Intel CPUs, so I really can't help much there.....and I have dual 5870s running on an evga SLI motherboard..........no problems at all.

thx i actually know that. im looking for amd board with 8x 8x crossfire, or better. i read 16x 4x isnt as good from ati's site...IIRC

8x 8x is better.....if you can, the 16x 16x would be best ;P

get the 89 board, better for future proofing.....if there is such a thing


if you give us a price range we can give better/other suggestions

thx! price range is ~100 +- 10.
its probably gona be ASUS M4A89GTD PRO because i dont trust all the other brands.

Well if you want you can also go with gigabyte boards their nearly as good as Asus boards for your price I would say either

or
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131402
though the last is a bit higher
That M4A89GTD costs about $139 the ones I shared are only 119 at most
Personally I went all out and got the GA-790FXTA-UD5 board
