Yep, QUAD-SLI, that's 4 graphics cards!

www.falcon-nw.com is already pimping the idea.

And I gotta say, choosing between QUAD-SLI and something that will help with Lag, it's an easy choice!

But my question is: why QUAD-SLI? Why pay 4x for your graphics?

Seriously, who here would get QUAD-SLI before getting 2Gigs of Ram?

Who would get QUAD-SLI before getting dual-core?

In short, who here would get QUAD-SLI, and why?

Nvidia knows there are hardcore gamers out there, while i don't think that Quad SLI will ever be as successful as regular dual SLI , but it's probably an alternative for those who just want the "extreme" graphics processor. People for those who just crave the uber power, or want to flaunt the badest toy on the block will buy it. Otherwise, I also have to agree it's a big freaking marketing gimic to pay more bucks for expensive equipment. Just like fanboys will do anything for any of the stuff they idolize.

But the best thing to do, asses your computer, and see what you need more before you unload on something you already have adequate of. Besides, the time you scrap money for those 4 cards, you'll notice nvidia will come out with an 6 or 8 sli way with dual core graphic cards, for up to 8 to 16 cores for graphics! come one! hahahha people just need to be reasonable.


Now if you will excuse me, i have to go buy my Quad SLI computer ;-) j/k

hmm been there done that Voodoo5 any one?

if you want some thing newer 7950 is also dual core techily


since the way a GPU works each pipeline is pretty much its own core
