Hello everyone! For my upcoming Intel Core i5 2400 based rig, I'm considering the Asus P8H67 M as an option. However I'm worried about its multi-GPU abilities. I've learnt that it supports multi-GPU in CrossFire but I don't know if that motherboard would be any good for a true CrossFire setup. So I need your views and suggestions. By the way, I'd possibly get a Radeon 6870 or 6950.
Thanks.

H67 chipset is not the best option for multi gpu setup - if you install 2 gfx cards on that mobo one gfx card will run only at 4x mode and will not be able to give it's full performance.

For CF setup get a mobo which supports 2x gfx card running at-least in 8x mode ie P67 chipset based mobos.

Ya, if you are gonna use those two powerful card, the one which will be plugged in the X4 slot is gonna bottleneck.

Thanks a lot. So, I'd go in for a P67 motherboard now, as multi-GPU support will be a future necessity for me.
