Asus P6T6, with six PCI-Express x16
The last launch of Asus, the motherboard Asus P6T6 This is a big difference compared to other devices on the market. Its main feature is that it integrates six holes PCI-Express 2.0 × 16, which can connect up to six graphics cards simultaneously. Of the six, three of them are linked to withstand a 3-Way from NVidia or ATi CrossFire X, configurations of three graphics in parallel, but in general, the use of all ports depends on what we’ve connected.
The most usual slabs of high-end gamers was to find three or, sometimes, four slots to exploit the opportunities SLI and CrossFire more extreme. In the case of the Asus P6T6 seems to be more oriented work stations with high burden of that process to gamers as it charts current high rates of transactions per second (flops) and thus could be used to be GPUs set of far more powerful even than the CPU of the system.
The Asus P6T6 brings ATX format and the x58 chipset from Intel, which is a plaque only compatible with the Intel Core i7 and her LGA1366 particular socket. In addition to the six PCI-Express, six slots in triple channel DDR3 memory, several USB, two Ethernet ports and which has become quite common in this type of plates.
A problem that is certainly of this board is that, being all together as PCI-Express, will not be able to take advantage of the six slots for graphics cards simultaneously with the most potent, since they tend to occupy a double slot. This way you can see how the slots 1, 3 and 5 are the main (blue), prepared for the 3-Way or CrossFire.
Pricing and availability have not been announced, although seeing a plaque normalita with the x58 Intel comes out about 250-300 euros, it would be ridiculous that this is not Asus P6T6 down from 400 euros.
