Gigabyte Quad SLI mainboard powering 10 monitors

[Darksaber]

Tweaktown has a full shot of the bare board, and a picture of it powering enough graphic cards to use 10 monitors at once.
I don't want to know what kind of heat output the cards have or how much power the cards need. But here are the pictures:

I could find better things to spend money on then 10 monitors.

Well I guess professional CAD users could use a 4-6 Monitor setup...but 10 is even too much. if they need the desktop space, they would use highres 19 or 21 inch TFTs, instead of 17 inch ones..

Pro CAD engineers (I nearly became one) use huge 23" panels, 2 of them. No more... lol. And that's the dudes that design the engine blocks in your rides, so no childs play. And they don't use this type of motherboard... They use so called workstations

 

[Darksaber]

oh nice *G* well I dunno...there is just something...well...manly...with using as many monitors as possible *G*..Stock brokers or such do use more than 2, at times even 4 or so monitors....

Stock brokers use even bigger screens, TV screens to be precise And a lot of them, located in a huge hall... Ever been in Wall Street?

 

[Darksaber]

na sorry, don't mean the kind standing on the floor, yelling and screaming...
I mean the kind sitting in an office..*G*...

anyways...to get back on topic: way to many screens...*hehehe*

Let alone four graphics cards.

 

[djbbenn]

But that was my better thing. lol j/k

Ya four video cards are a waste as far as I'm concerned. Maybe in a flightsim, but for us.

You know what I just thought about, couldn't anyone have done this with say a single AGP card and four PCI cards?

 

[djbbenn]

Ya they could have, but its not SLI.
