Warning: These P55 motherboards will cripple your Crossfire/SLI performance
In order to cut on costs, on fourteen different motherboards, the second PCI-Express 16x is not connected via 8 lines to the PCI-Express controller of the LGA1156 processor (The first port then also being at 8x), but rather with 4 lines on the P55 controller. On top of that, while the lines connected to the LGA1156 processor work at 5GT/s, the ones connected to the P55 only work at 2.5GT/s.
Needless to say, running Crossfire or SLI on a motherboard equipped with a 16x that works at 4x and is connected to the P55 chipset will cripple your performances. Read on for more details and for a list of motherboards to avoid and a list of motherboard to go for.
