    Is there such a thing as a motherboard with 4 PCIe X8 slots?

    Is there such a thing as a motherboard with 4 PCIe X8 slots?

    edit. (I know about the server motherboards that have four X16 slots, but they are a bit expensive, was wondering if some just had four X8 slots so it would be cheaper)

    thank you

    Yup, how else would Quad-Crossfire work?

    They're only available on AMD motherboards as far as I know. Check out the 790FX chipset.

    There's a limited number of Intel and nV platform boards that do it too.
