RE: PCIe Slot Layout by Rajinder Gill on Friday, February 27, 2009
Question on this comment: The slot configuration allows running three dual slot GPUs and a single slot PhysX card or other PCI-E peripheral In looking at the pictures, this board only has 7 slots total with the x1 being at the top. If you used 3 Dual Slot GPUs, that would be 3 x 2 = 6 + the x1 = 7 So where exactly are you putting a PhysX card? The only possibility I see is if you use an 8 or 10 slot Case and stick the 3rd Dual Slot GPU in the very bottom slot such that it hangs off the bottom of the mobo. But in this case, the normal 6 connector Triple SLI Bridge wont reach the 3rd card. Am I missing something here? PS: Dont get me wrong, I like the design of the board.

You could certainly do it, as stated, by plugging one of the dual-slot cards into that last slot, and having it hang over the edge of the board - requiring an extra big case. But another way is to use liquid-cooled versions of the cards, cutting them all down to single-slot size. In any event, it doesn't matter where you place them, since you can use three of the soft, bendy SLI bridge connectors to make your own triple-SLI connection. You don't have to use anybody's firm, fixed triple-SLI connector. Just Google around to see how to use the three individual, soft, bendy connectors.
Using 4 GPUs is possible a couple of different ways by MasonStorm on Saturday, February 28, 2009
The important thing I take away from this preview has nothing to do with the board itself but rather eVGA's expanding custom software and software/hardware efforts. It's really neat to see a company like eVGA make a push in this direction going well beyond other mobo companies with their basic monitoring software and other graphics rebadgers.

How can you have a triple GPU setup using dual slot cards and have room for a physics card/sound card? Only way it might be possible is putting the 3rd card in the 4th PCI-E slot, but that would overlap the USB headers etc. The PCI slot gets covered by the 2nd GPU, so any PCI sound cards can't go in there, either.
