ATI asks for a third PCIe slot

Computex 2006 Two 16s plus one
Monday, 5 June 2006, 18:48
THE WIERDEST BIT of news comes to us from no less than three mobo makers at Computex, and it concerns ATI.

The whispers are that ATI is now asking mobo makers to make their high-end boards with slots for three 16x GPUs. All three slots may not need to have a full 16 lanes routed to them, 4 or 8 may work out fine, but the slot physically must be 16x.

If you are going to so Crossfire, at least two would need to be 16x. I wonder what they want the third card for? µ
