Some good info there! Thanks Poge ;)

I can see there being major overheating problems with the two covered cards :(

there are 2 german manufactureres already offering QUAD Sli:
for 6999€s:
www.lahoo-computer.de/shop/ (scroll all the way down, last system, but their link seems to be busted)
and for 4999€:
www.arlt.com/shop/warenkorb.php?subm=get_it&wg=300&wgname=komplett&subwg=&searchwordfff=7900GX2&artnr=3002367&Arlt_Session=928a919f8105a4196aeb41e66080cd6f

The cards themselves are available for 888€s or more at the following sites:

www.titoshardwareshop.de/product_info.php?products_id=2009
www.pc-king.de/lshop,showdetail,,d,,,8007139,,,.htm
www.ggtech.de/product_info.php?products_id=4193

Still none have them in stock.

About overheating: the PCB actually has holes, right where the fan is...that way air can pass thru the first layer of PCB and gets to the 2nd card. And the 90nm parts are not clocked very high (500Mhz). There are plenty of 550Mhz+ 7900GTs out there, and all use that tiny copper heatsink. The same as the 7600GTs.

EDIT: I still believe that 4999€ is even too much, the CPU costs around 1050€s, the 2 dual GPU cards 900€s each, that makes 2850€s, and the rest of the System should not cost 2000€s...

lol yeah, how do you cool your cards, let alone have enough power for them? I saw what, FOUR PCI-E PSU connectors? I bet the motherboard requires an EPS power supply too...why oh why can't we stick with just one GPU? Better yet, why don't we just make the game so it doesn't need such high-end graphics, it makes life easier for EVERYONE.

How is dell offering quad sli if nvidia doesn't even have a supporting driver?!?

Agreed. This is bs, all this crap inside a machine, very stupid as well. They should improve game engines and focus on maybe having multi cores on a single card...even that will hog up energy.
You buy it they supply it, dont buy into this crap, then they will be forced to make better single cores and game engines.:laugh: this makes me:laugh:

Quad SLi is not going to happen in that form Nvidia wont support it for at least another 2 months and by then i bet they could fit 2 7900 series on a card i mean if asus could do it with the 7800gt they can do it with the 7900. hmm anyone think maybe thats y they made it smaller and take less juice???

yeah, THG made it happen with some dual-GPU cards...with a third of the screen jarbled :laugh:. Going back to the SLI/Crossfire boycott...I think we should all just go back to DX7 lol. COD2 looks fine in DX7 mode.

then again, COD2 DOES look better with DX9
