I do have 3x GTX480s on my R3E... and it would be place for the fourth card too - however, I'm not seeing the point of the GTX570 as dedicated PhysX card... 3x GTX580s should handle everything...

The question is how thick are your cards? On my GTX480s I have waterblocks, so absolutely no problem to fit them...

Space on that there motherboard is card dependant. Certainly with water cooling there is space.

Is there any need for a dedicated physics card? Nope not at all.

Thanks for replying guys, tell ya why i asked, im having crazy probs with this rig, biggest problem is with all 4 cards or 3 way sli surround, i cannot get this beast to come out of sleep mode in surround? ive never saw this before? ive finally thought it may be because i have 3 asus monitors 1x VK266h & 2x VW266h & dont like playing with each other.

Now i can wake with 3way sli + or - physx on any one monitor, or any 2 monitors but not all 3 via DVI. But can with 2 DVI + 1 HDMI on a 1920x1200 resolution, is this crazy or just me? Any thoughts/help would be great. To be honest i didnt think would matter mixing VK266h or VW266h monitors as visually only looks like 1 monitor has a camera stuck on top but there defo must be something as just doesnt like 3 way surround in this config or am i missing something somewhere here,lol

Hey dont be hatin on the GTX570 for physx HiVizMan as this was free from a friend, cant beat Free,lol also having a dedicated physx does make a difference in games guys visually & FPS believe it or not! also 6060x1200 gaming these cards just need that lil extra overclock to try keep up. And to be honest tri sli 680;s are whats needed for eyecandy 6060 todays gaming.
