    3 x Dx11 vid cards

    I currently have one of these--


    I would really like to run my older 8800GT as a dedicated Phys X card but am stumped as to how I can fit all 3 cards in,, they are all dual slot cards.
    I have read of cutting down the GPU PCI-e insertion pins so they fit into the small PCI-X slots.
    The two 570HD's may fit in the PCI-E 4 and 8,, but the top one will run very hot with no air gap--

    You can get extension cables for the slots, e.g.:

    1x PCI E Express PCIe x16 Extender Cable Riser Card Molex Power Solid Capacity | eBay

    Although the longer you go the less stable the link will be, especially if overclocked, but then again this was with 30cm and 45cm extensions.

    Mate I am running a GTX690 dual core GPU 2 x 2GB (4G and have no need for anything more even running the best of games in Ultra spec. I can allocate one core for Phys X or split it over both. There isn't any game to challenge the card.

    yep, but i'm talking a $9 part and using a card I already have,,

    rather than this--
    GeForce GTX 690 Review: Testing Nvidia's Sexiest Graphics Card - GeForce GTX 690 4 GB: Hands-Off The Magnesium, Pal!

    nice card though

    Yeah true, I suppose it depends on what your needs are. I needed something high end.

    Ok so my scores were:

    Standard mode - no settings changed: 3203
    Maxed settings: 1710

    I think those are pretty high.
