I don't know many other boards that have 4x PCI-e x16.

Could mean true Quad SLi is coming.

Looks so much better than the standard version.

It's a pipedream tbh.

I can't remember how many years we get the repeated sentiments of "maybe xfire/sli will now be worth investing in". It just aint. U'll get some sexy benches, that are disproportionate to ur investment, and the same game performance (real life performance) that u'll get from an x2 (either camp) or a single high end card (either camp).

Quad SLI is such a low % want and requirement that I'm pretty oblivious as to why it's still spoken about.

Maybe Crysis/FC2 will run nicer. Ok, kewl. Any1 still play Crysis or will still be playing FC2 by the time this comes to light ?

Purely imo, but this mobo will be a sizeable waste of cash.
