14 DAY TRIAL // The X99 chipset is a powerful motherboard platform. It has to be, in order to actually allow the Haswell-E Intel CPUs of up to 8 cores to properly function. EVGA has created three mainboards based on it.
The EVGA X99 Classified could be seen as the flagship, in a sense. It boasts eight DDR4 DIMM memory slots (3,200+ MHz), PCI Express switches, 4-way SLI/CrossFire graphics card support, and a price of $399 / €399.
It also has three BIOS'es and an M.2 slot with PCI Express wiring if we're reading this right, meaning that it uses PCIe technology, allowing for 1.8 GB/s or greater speeds.
The second board, called X99 FTW (For the Win) is similar to the one above in many ways, but seems to lack M.2 SSD support and has only two BIOS chips. Its price is of $299 / €299.
That leaves the EVGA X99 Micro, a micro-ATX (the others are full-ATX boards) with only 3-way SLI/CrossFire, a single BIOS chip (no backup in case you mess up overclocking), and no PCI Express switches (can't disable slots to allocate resources). The price is $249 / €249.
You'll find all the information neatly listed on the official EVGA website. There's a whole section dedicated just to the EVGA X99 mainboard line.
