ASUS Makes 3-way SLI on GeForce 9800 GT a Reality

Although it was speculated by many that 3-way SLI would be a standard feature with the GeForce 9800 GT graphics cards, reference designs of the card were just a little more than an improvement over the 'previous generation' 8800 GT. 3-way SLI didn't turn out to be a feature standard to all 9800 GT cards, at least not the reference NVIDIA designs. ASUS took up the initiative and prepared the ASUS EN9800GT HybridPower. This non-reference design supports 3-way SLI multi-GPU technology, uses 4-phase VRM circuitry, and the signature ASUS Glaciator GPU fansink. It uses 512 MB of GDDR3 memory. There's no word on the card's parameters or pricing yet.

Still, if the driver doesn't take into account 9800GT Tri-SLI support, it still won't work properly, wouldn't it? Hopefully NVIDIA's team will announce official support soon.

And you think ASUS wouldn't have taken the pains to check if 3-way SLI worked (by whatever driver is provided on the product CD) before releasing?

I still can't believe that 3-way SLi is not possible on my GTS's. It stinks!

If they created such a card, one would think that it would work. Otherwise, they would have a huge lawsuit on their hands.

whats the point though?

an 9800GT @ 600/1500/1800 with the full 128shaders and tri SLI would make more sense than this.
