Now imagine 4 ASUS Dual 7800GT !!! :eek:

That would be like 8 video cards. :rolleyes:

lol

well the question still remains: can you really use QuadSLI? if it does...I want one...

cheers

i hope so

I think that is rediculous, its getting out of hands. Theres no need for it. Maybe in a few years time, but not now.

good for entertainment value :D

at @800 a card for uber high end + 2-300 mobo, thats a $3500 video+mobo combo.

all about bragging rights

nightelf84all about bragging rights

About all its good for...

now if only they could do this on a 8 way dual core opteron mobo with 128gigs of ram... :D

Now if you could only afford all that lol. :D

Maybe, but you can't SLI two of those. Plus, they'd have serious lack of bandwidth (1GB/s FD for 2 7800GT's? Hm...)

Who the hell is going to shell out nearly 2000USD to get a few more images on his screen? Nice for benchmarking, but these boards do not pay themselves off for the manufacturers.

thats just ludicrous. Benchmarker's/overclocker's dream. You could probably sweep all the WRs with one of those with stock-clocked 7800GTXes :)
shame it's an intel board though.
I believe that the latest nvidia drivers have support for 4-way SLI.
Also, some dual-GPU cards do have SLI tabs, but I don't think thaty the dual 7800GTX card does.

AFAIK, it doesn't. But no, you coudn't sweep all the WRs with stock cooled 7800GTXs because someone would ice them and beat you to it :p

Of course it doesen' pay off.But benchmarks would be cool.

That's the only reason they do it at all, bragging rights :p Not many people will buy this board and actually use 4 high end GFX's on it.

lol buy that and sli 6200s :p rofl!

can 6200s even be SLIed?

Ehh, no. Who the hell would do that?

Hmmm. .seems like a bad idea. .

1. You would neva go like below 10k FPS. .ever
2. Would have to sell half your organs, just to buy the bits
3. Temps would be like an oven with 4/8 gfx cards
4. You could get a car with that money
5. Someone would steal your PC, and probably kill you in the process :D

Most of that is probably true... Exept for the 10,000fps bit. SLI is not exactly efficient in the first place, let alone more than 100% effective which you need for 10kfps :p

LOL. .possibly a slight exageration :p

-Adam

Alright to spice things up, the Gigabyte board *IS* capable of running 4 GPUs in Quad SLI!!

check this picture out:



cheers
DarkSaber

You would have to have one hell of a PSU for those.

-Dan

yea not only that...I would not want to put 4 of those into a closed case *G*...well I would certainly don't need to heat my bachelors suite with anything else,...and the electricity bill *ewwww*....

cheers
Vahid

The heat output would be insane, you'd have to have some really good airflow.
