GA-Z68XP-UD5 or ASUS P8Z68 Deluxe vs ASUS Maximus IV Gene-Z

last answer

The ASUS Maximus IV Gene-Z is a >MICRO< ATX MOBO; mATX. So no.

The GA-Z68XP-UD5 was, is, and will be my choice other than the other (2) I already listed. As I said, vCore + SLI is where my head is, but no two CPUs are a like and I'm playing the safe odds.

ok....than definetly i go with GA-Z68XP-UD5

thanks a lot

^Nothing they have their uses, but there's no way to 2-WAY + PhysX; the ASUS Maximus IV Gene-Z only has 2 PCIe slots.

im going on (1) gtx 580 for the 'Game' and GTX 460 for the PhysX
i have found where i can ASUS P8P67 WS REVOLUTION buy....and ist little cheapier than GA-Z68XP-UD5 ....now my question ist...witch ist better for gaming with 2 grafik card?

Not sure what you're asking? In a GTX 580/GTX 460 you only want to connect your Monitor(s) to the GTX 580 and use the GTX 460 as PhysX in the nVidia Control Panel. The first time booting, installing the OS, nVidia drivers, etc -- leave the GTX 460 out of the MOBO. Once everything is working as stated then add the GTX 460 and in the nVidia Control panel set the GTX 460 as the PhysX.

Keep in mind ONLY PhysX Games will benefit from the added PhysX {GTX 460}.

IF the 'Plan' is 2-WAY SLI GTX 580 then the GTX 460 <OR> GTS 450 as PhysX is fine; what I would do anyway. As I said, I don't like to mix DirectX 11 GPU(s) + DirectX 10 PhysX. Do as you will

Metro 2033 w/Dedicated Physx
Average Framerate: 30.00 SLI GTX 580 CPU Dedicated PhysX
Average Framerate: 36.67 SLI GTX 580, GTX 285 (1gb ram) Dedicated PhysX
Average Framerate: 34.33 SLI GTX 580, 8800GT (512 ram) Dedicated PhysX

Temp on Dedicated GTX 285 never above 48c
Temp on Dedicated 8800GT never above 78c

than maby i put gtx 260 for PhysX card and 580 for game....
Shoud i chose ASUS P8P67 WS REVOLUTION over GA-Z68XP-UD5
i will use only 2 grafik card....

I know you have comprehensively answered OP's all questions regarding decision in choosing motherboard and their couldn't be a better response. i also need your help. I am making my gaming rig and i had P8z68-v deluxe in mind for a long time and then yesterday i read in a thread that P8z68-v pro is a better option than deluxe as it has on-board graphics ( I know who uses onboard graphics anyway nowadays? especially in a gaming rig) but it confused me. i need your help
