It is.

Check out the bottom slot though, pinned for x8 in the slot:

I suppose those extra pins are there just for physical support? And/or extra grounds?

cadaveca · Nov 10, 2011, 04:33 PM

I am not sure, to be honest. I will have to ask.

I did hear word that SLi support is in the works though, so that's fantastic news!

as of 11/24/2011 the bios was updated with sli support
