What is the best mother board that uses the P67 chipset? and if i am planning on running 3 way SLI with high powered cards, is the P67 chipset still the best choice?

Asus Maximus IV Extreme.

I could be wrong, but I don't think there's anything out there with more features and functionality:

Single card? Sandy Bridge all the way.

Two cards in SLI? Sandy Bridge is competitive.

Three-way SLI? Go with an X58 board and appropriate CPU.

Usually, when people do three-way SLI, it's for multi-monitor 5760x1200 resolutions. At that level, Sandy Bridge loses a bit of its punch.

I don't understand why Sandy Bridge loses it's punch at that point?

Toms has a recent review where they used the 1155 CPU to test SLI vs Crossfire:

http://www.tomshardware.com/review [...] 865-2.html

In the test setup for the review, they list another P67 board - ASUS P8P67 WS Revolution.

I'm sure this one is also among the best out there.

Even with a P67 board that has the extra NF200 chipset, with triple-SLI it runs at x16/x8/x8. In some of the tests, they say it gets inconsistent results -- this is probably why.

 

An X58 board has more PCIe lanes, so has more bandwidth. If they did an actual comparison of triple-SLI between the two, X58 would win. We already know X58 wins when in dual-SLI (just barely) at large multi-monitor resolutions.**
