I know that there was some debate whether or not running both links in standard Crossfire, with some evidence to there being a slight gain in higher resolutions, but that got me to thinking about 3-way (or I suppose 4 as well) CF-X... Hate to link to another site for a pic, but it's the perfect example...
If you were to grab a longer link (seen them on eBay) and connected up card 3 to 1, think the same gain could be had at higher res or with AA cranked up? Similarly you could connect up cards 1-4 in a 4-way CF-X setup. While I sadly will not have the funds ANYTIME soon to do something like this, and the planned upgrade won't even have a mobo capable of doing more than standard CF, I just feel like if no one ever asks then no one may bother to try. Or perhaps also that no one may even have thought of it, but surely that couldn't be the case
So anyone know? Or willing to give it a go, for any of those lucky enough to be running a tri-card config?
