One word: Sick!

And I was foolish enough to think that SLI/Crossfire was the peak of idiocrazy in 3D card world, but now this!

paul06660 · Nov 13, 2007

They finally did!!!!!!

Prices are about right on AMD and ATI stuff too!!!!!

Somewhere in the world right now, there is an Nvidia Video card Getting upset and 86'ing itself like a true Samauri would after defeat in battle!!!!! :nutkick:

Now show us some benchmarks please!!!!!

DaJMasta · Nov 13, 2007

Four of everything......

Insane, and expensive, but neat that it works. I wonder if quad crossfire is anything close to even 3x the performance of one card, I think it counts as a win if they can hit 3x or above with good drivers and such.

tvdang7 · Nov 13, 2007

man 4 cards for only 3x performance? sounds kinda dumb but its probably gonna be like that

ccleorina · Nov 13, 2007

Man..... Should i go Intel or AMD.... damm..... then i have to change to AMD and run quad x-fire... :banghead:

But.... Damm..... Nice one from AMD and ATI.... :rockout:

Insane, and expensive :banghead:

You guys ever heard of Octa-fire?

4x 3870x2

JoJoe · Nov 13, 2007

The heatsink on the CPU looks interesting...

OnBoard · Nov 13, 2007

Surround image ?) 8 widescreen displays should be enough for that, no idea if there is a working software or game though

Looks cool, but silly too

If they can get a 200% increase in performance it would be pretty good. ie an improvement of 66% per extra card. Few things scale that well.

Are you going to be able to run quad xfire with an intel platform??? There are not to many amd boards out there that support crossfire funny enough. I wonder if amd are keeping the quad crossfire to their own chipsets???

Any one know????

i think msi's x38 has an extra pci-e controller chip for that exact purpose

note the second chip by southbridge

lemonadesoda · Nov 13, 2007

This is how I read this:

The AMD CPUs are not performing competitively enough against Intel. The Intel's are pwning them in the benchmarks. The ONLY SOLUTION FOR AMD is to stick 4 GPUs into the PC to win the benchmark crown. Aint going to help Super-pi though. :roll:

Xaser04 · Nov 13, 2007

The only problem with that is horrific cpu limitation.

von kain · Nov 13, 2007

i really can use it they will ban me from the electric company :wtf:

[I.R.A]_FBi · Nov 13, 2007

ATi chipsets (and quadfire) is coming to intel next year.

PVTCaboose1337 · Nov 13, 2007

Wow that is really cool... I want one... I mean 4.

mdm-adph · Nov 13, 2007

Wow, that's a... that's a lot of video cards.

I wonder -- do you just hook them up with 3 regular Xfire connections, or do you need a special longer one (like it looks like they have in the picture)?

phanbuey · Nov 13, 2007

WOAH... i really want this, then i can use onboard sound(or AMD's crappy gfx card onboard sound) :wtf:

. MAYBE with the 2xR670s this would be an awesome platform, but you wouldnt have that, since 2xR670s come with dual slot coolers. This is a nice idea for a folding machine or a workstation tho... :laugh:

@ no spiders or ghouls on the box - awesome.

But nVidia is doing the exact same thing (it's even a news item farther down the page....)

newbielives · Nov 13, 2007

And yet not a single benchmark to show for

Does that setup even beat a QX6850 with 2 x 8800Ultra SLI ?
