P5W DH For gaming

[Shadowen925]

I was first looking at ASUS P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131031&PageStyle=%23 from new egg but then i heard some things about ASUS P5W DH DELUXE http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131025 Which is better for gaming? I want to run a Core 2 duo E6600 and 2x 1GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) and a eVGA 7900GTO (posibly wanting to later do SLI) Which mobo should I get or is there another option?

well, not to be mean, but that's a stupid question. if youw ant SLI, well go with the P5N32 -SLI SE unless you want to try hacked drivers for the P5W DH Deluxe...

otherwise, if you want Crossfire, go with the P5W DH Deluxe

I mean, do you think before you speak?!

 

[Eurasianman]

And yes, there are other options. QUIT BEING LAZY AND BROWSE THE FREAKING THG SITE!!! It doesn't stay up and running just to kill bandwidth!

ok, going back to sleep...

Some people can be an ass...

But as he said, there is no choice if you want to do NVidia's SLI. P5W DH Deluxe only supports Crossfire, ATI's version of SLI. An Nvidia video card will work with the P5W, you just won't be able to run dual graphics.

There's a crack driver that allows you to run nVidia SLI on these motherboards.

If you want the ultimate performer for SLI (awful $/performance) the you have no choice but the P5N32-SLI. But I, for no means, recommend it.
If you want a great OCer motherboard that will run crossfire without any performance loss then go for the Abit AW9D-MAX, best motherboard for the 975X chipset.

 

[Eurasianman]

unless you want to wait for the nForce 600 series motherboard *shudders* But if you're going to wait that long, might as well wait for Quad Core CPUs and motherboards. That is, if you wait any longer lol

At what resolution does your monitor maxes out anyways?
