My company is in need of dual 16X PCIE motherboard for two video cards runnings 8 projectors. Now that Haswell has been released, we need to find discontinued Ivy Bridge parts for our needs.
Z87 access to two PCIe x16 slots, which run at a native PCIe 3.0 x8/x8, the same as Ivy Bridge. If you need more than 16 PCIe lanes, either look at a PLX enabled Haswell motherboard (almost all north of $300-350), Sandy Bridge-E or AMD.

WTF, Z87 does not support dual PCIe 16x ?My company is in need of dual 16X PCIE motherboard for two video cards runnings 8 projectors. Now that Haswell has been released, we need to find discontinued Ivy Bridge parts for our needs.
So basically Z77 is better than Z87.
