Hey everyone new to the forums. I want to upgrade from my E8500 duo core and a EVGA 790I tri sli motherboard to a newer motherboard and CPU . But I heard that the Ivy bridge that can handle 6 and 8 core CPU's at the end of the year so I and not sure If I should wait till then. I look at the sandy bridge sli motherboards and I see most sli are 16X till you run 2 cards then the other is set to 8X . I am not sure I will notices much difference. Most that i do is FPS like COD battlefield etc.
