So what exactly is NVMe, and why doesn't it work with Windows 7? I've gotten into multi monitor setups lately and was planning on attempting a 3 monitor 4K setup so as to the reason for 2 cards. What's the specific name for motherboards though that support 3-4 way SLI/crossfire? Budget is I'd say around 4-5K for hardware, I've already got most of the water cooling parts and case.

So is Windows 7 not compatible with pcie drives? And currently I'm right at that 2-3 foot mark from my monitors. Sorry I'm unsure of the term for motherboards but ones that can fit dual gpus and still have several extra pci(16 is it?) slots below.
SetsulRight now R9 Fury X, R9 Fury, R9 390X, R9 390.
I thought you wanted to wait for the new ones with DP 1.3 though. They aren't released yet, so they aren't named either.
Ah alright. Yeah if it's true that 1.3 will support higher refresh rates of 4K then I'll wait. Even so, are current 4K monitors worth it for gaming at the moment? And I'm planning on doing an entire SSD drive based system, how's an Intel pci-e ssd for OS and steam? And do you have any recommendations for extended motherboard brands? Thanks again.
SetsulNew AMD cards are expected mid 2016 and they should include DP 1.3.
nVidia would be late 2016 (Q4) probably if at all and there's no word on DP 1.3 so probably no on that too.
Why do you insist on nVidia?
Only thing I've ever been familiar with. What's the upper end for AMDs line of cards?

nVidia won't release any "goodies" in April, because they don't have a working GPU yet.

Thanks for the info! So no new releases for at least a year then in terms of GPUs? And do you believe that display port 1.3 will be out with the next line from nvidia?
So there seems to be a few knowledgeable people here on this forum. I've been and out of whats the newest PC hardware over the years but recently have been "out of the loop". Looking to build another Powerhouse PC once Nvidia releases the new goodies in April, any suggestions or words of wisdom for me? Been taking an interest in 4K recently after buying my TV so I may go that route eventually too if supported hardware is released to allow for 120-144hz 2160p.
Basically, whats the latest and greatest out there and the good V bad of it all?
