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

That would be like 8 video cards. :rolleyes:

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

djbbenn · Sep 22, 2005

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.

XooM · Sep 22, 2005

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.

ChAce · Sep 22, 2005

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

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

ChAce · Sep 22, 2005

That's the only reason they do it at all, bragging rights

Not many people will buy this board and actually use 4 high end GFX's on it.

SPHERE · Sep 22, 2005

lol buy that and sli 6200s

rofl!

nightelf84 · Sep 23, 2005

can 6200s even be SLIed?

ChAce · Sep 23, 2005

Ehh, no. Who the hell would do that?

AceFactor · Sep 23, 2005

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

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

AceFactor · Sep 23, 2005

LOL. .possibly a slight exageration

-Adam

Darksaber · Sep 25, 2005

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

check this picture out:

cheers

djbbenn · Sep 25, 2005

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

-Dan

Darksaber · Sep 25, 2005

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*....
