I plan to use multiple graphics cards for enhanced gaming or computational performance. Which motherboards offer optimal support for SLI or Crossfire configurations, including adequate PCIe lane distribution and spacing for proper cooling? What features are crucial for stable multi-GPU setups?
For multi-GPU gaming, that's largely a thing of the past due to driver and game support fading. However, some higher-end X670E and X870E motherboards (like the ASRock X670E Taichi/Taichi Lite) offer dual PCIe x8 slots. Look for boards with proper PCIe lane bifurcation and physical spacing between slots for cooling. A robust power delivery system is also crucial for stability. If you're targeting compute workloads, multi-GPU setups are still relevant and similar motherboard considerations apply.
