Hello all, I have a question about my mobo. I will probably have this computer for many years mainly upgrading my gpu to keep up with games. From the specs page of my mobo I know it supports 3 way crossfirex but I'm wanting to know if it supports 3 way ski, the specs page says it supports quad-gpu sli which from what I have read means 2 cards with 2 gpu chips on each, however it doesn't address if you can have 3 single gpu cards. So does anyone have any clue if it will support 3 nvidia cards? Sorry for the long windedness of the post and thanks for any help.

Nvidia has unfortunately made SLI only supported on x8 and x16 links. The third slot on the M7F is x4 so it cannot be used for SLI.

Thank you very much for that info. I guess it's true you learn something new every day.
