Asus Rampage Extreme III and 2 Nvidia 295 GTX will they work ?

Hi all as above. I have read that my board does not support quad sli unless I buy some daughter board ?
I have 2 Nvidia 295 GTX graphics cards that have 2 pcb's per card. I will be using PCI-E slots 1 and 3.

Will this rig work please, or should I sell and go for another card ?

Thanks in advance

Hi many thanks for the link and the evidence is apparent, but I have read on forums that that baord does not support quad sli. The fact that my Gcards have 2 Gpu's each = 4, I am thinking it wont support them ?

I believe they're talking about one of these, which should have come with your board....



Also some cards (video) may also card with one.

And it would also help if you specifically told us what board you have since you say the link provided is what your board does.

The board linked clearly says....

Multi-GPU Support
Supports NVIDIA® 3-Way SLI™ Technology
Supports AMD CrossFireX™ Technology

Look under specifications. Perhaps you're getting confused with something else?

Thanks for the replies and sorry guys I am not too great at this.
I have the sli link bridge, 2 in fact, but I do not have that expander thingy.

Here is more detail

I have the Asus Rampage Extreme III Republic of gamers LGA 1366
I7 920 OC to 3.8ghz with Noctua DH14
16 GB Corsair Ram
BFG TECH 295 GTX X2 , each card which takes up one Pci-e slot each has 2 GPU's = 2 Physical slots taken up, but 4 GPU's.
Coolermaster Real Power M1000W PSU

I am getting confused as I see this link

Yes, they will work, you just need the connector sygnus posted.

Thanks Britton, for a minute I thought I was going crazy

OK, as pointed out - dual (2 cards) SLI is doable with your board. Quad (4 cards) is not.

So, since you have two cards, you're good to go. Four cards won't work. You also need the connector I showed earlier, which either your card or motherboard should have supplied.

Hope this helps.
