You can only run 2 of the 5970's which would be quadfire since there is 2 GPU's per card....I saw somewhere a guy was saying he was running 3 5970's but i don't believe that is possible...They don't have the bridge hook up's for that....I could be wrong????

Oh ok, then in that case you can only run the two cards (Quad Fire) I dont' believe about that guy running all three neither.

I seem to recall reading something about more than 4 GPUs being possible in 7... I will have to look around for it though. Might be something "in schedule"

# of cards is driver limited not OS limited. even if you "hacked it" to allow more it probably would scale really bad
