Does the Asus Crosshair IV Formula supports SLI?

[Taizin]

I have decided to replace my old motherboard with the Asus Crosshair IV formula. Mine old motherboard was working fine but i wanted change because it was not supporting some of the latest applications. And that is the reason why i have decided to change it with the Asus Crosshair IV. Now please let me know that is it better mother board performance wise and also whether it will support the SLI. As i love to play video games on my system i want best video resolutions and that is why i have decided to buy the SLI graphic card by Nvidia. Please help me knowing whether the SLI will work on the Asus motherboard. Also let me know the features of this motherboard.

I have gone through your problem and it seems to me that it will not support the sli. The thing is that it only has the one slot that will help you to insert only one card in it and you will be not able to use the Nvidia. So better try and use any other card or try and change the motherboard it self. I hope that changing either of it will help you to solve your problem. and i am sure that there are many other such motherboards which are having the capability to support the Nvidia cards with SLI.

First of all thank you all of you for answering my problems and also for spending your vital time to give the solutions. But the thing is that if the SLI is not compatible with the Asus motherboard then what should i do? because i need the Nvidia card badly for the gaming purpose. Now please help me to know any other motherboard that supports the SLI. And also let me know it as soon as possible so that i can get rid of it as soon as possible. And i hope that other motherboard with the SLI holding capability will help my cause.
