I had a pair of 280s in 8x/8x flavor and it was fine.

The only board I've ever seen do everything "highend" via lowend price.. DFI Blood Iron P35.. Other then that, I haven't seen it.

Ive had a few low end boards with the nifty enthusiast options before. It depends on what you get.

I have to say, they have changed a whole lot after the 7xx series and these new boards are great.. Even for the fact it's Crossfire/sli.
