NVIDIA working on SLI 2.0

zekrahminator · Jan 30, 2007

NVIDIA is working on a new version of SLI technology, which allows users to shove more than one graphics card in their system. This new version is so far a very big secret, so the specs are unconfirmed. However, it should allow for two or more completely different cards to be in SLI mode. SLI 2.0 is also said to allow more than four graphics cards to be in a system at one time. Where we'll find the power supply, motherboard, or case to support an eight GPU system is unknown, however a six GPU system is (somewhat) reasonable for this new technology.

Yeah, dual gpu graphics cards!!!!! ::drool:: Youll need an 8 core processor to help out clocked at around 4GHZ!!! :roll:

Completely bonkers.

nVidia should focus on bringing a better GPU... not multiple versions of an OK GPU. And reducing size, and power requirements.

If they really want to follow a strategy of multi-core, then stick two, or three, or four GPUs onto ONE card.

Alternatively, have a "mothercard" on the PC... that is nothing more than an interface with cables going out the back to a separate box... with a proprietary design with 4, or 8 GPU's on it... and its own power... and cooling... away from the main PC.
