NVIDIA Triple SLI: the “Ultimate Gaming Platform”

i just noticed that the think is stamped with a nvidia confidental watermark :laugh: oh well, not confidential anymore, what slide, i dont see anything.
 
"tripple sli"? they have quad sli out already.. why downgrade to "tripple"?
 
cause there are hardly is not any quad pcie slot mobos. the 680i sli has 3 pci e slots, and thats why they have triple sli, cause its what current mobos out there can support.
 
I just can't see the point in this. Are they basically saying that too achieve the performance you want i modern games their hardware is so poor that you will need two or three cards. SLI and Crossfire are not supported by the majority of games and even with it the cost of it is a tad stupid. Fair dibs if you have one card (eg 7900GS)and you really don't want to have to get a new 8800GTS for £170, then fine get another 7900GS. But three cards?? This is frankly silly. If the only reasons they can state for three card SLI is great performance then their cards are not up to scratch. We've been handling fine with just one at the moment. If DX10 is something they need more than one or two card to perform well when they themselves state even the 8600 series has "unparalleled levels of graphics realism and performance for Microsoft® DirectX® 9 and DirectX 10 games" then they need to go back to the drawing board. This is just more spending for the sake of spending.You can see dual CPU slots on motherboards (Xeon, FX74 etc) for huge amounts of raw processing power in servers or high-end workstations where it is genuinely needed, but not three. This is just a step too far.
 
yea but the third pci-e slot is only what 4x max? lol.
 
the 3rd and 1st are x16 the middle one is like 4x.
 
That would be nice but... no PCI slot for my X-Fi :(
 
Guess I better start slinging Crack. How else would I be able to afford a 3X $500 card system. A 1 card ATi system does me just fine though. Fook that nVidia Crack. :nutkick:
 
Man just think of the PSU you need to power a rig like that!
That is hecka lame!

all im gonna say is single card FTW!


and videocards are multicore, its just not the type o' multicore that CPUs are.
I read about this somewhere on some forums, but i forgot most of it...
 
agreed, single cards ftw.
 
SLI fine, triple SLI no way lol
 
who the hell has the money for 3 8800 ultras??!?! that $2100 just on GFX cards...:laugh:

i wish nvidia would just release a physx card for my middle 8x PCIe slot on my 680i mobo. especially since i have an 8800GTS not GTX or Ultra.
 
nvidiots been hittin that crack pipe again ...
 
lol, this is very disappointing from nvidia, rather then releasing more powerful cards, they are finding ways to string weak cards together.
 
That is just taking too much space. Just look at the slide, where are you going to plug in your sata cables for your drives? I mean, come on.

If CPU can be designed to Dualcore/Tricore/Quadcore in a core, then I don't see why ATI or nVidia should try and do the same. I rather have a 2 cards SLI/CF than that 3 crap-ness. Just looks ugly. :wtf:

That slide looks kinda novice.

Maybe it isn't real...

Agreed. All there proof is that one picture. That one picture looks extremely fake. It looks like it was done in paint. The edges and everything look horrible. Also the hugely overdone confidential thing is just stupid.
 
ati's working on putting everything on one card, but not putting in enough, if ati can beat nvidia at this, then we get into a huge war. the dual x1950 pro card is great, its 2 x1950's all on card. but i just realized something, if they start doing multi core cards, we're going to the need new slots. cause to have 4 cores all on one slot would cause problems, since each core will require all of the x16 bandwidth..
 
3dfx did it first!
i prefer psu cards and duo or quad cored gpu's then gowing to sli or tri sli or quad sli setups...

same. :toast:
 
Hmmm if you're insanely rich, you could buy the water cooled versions on newegg that only take one slot (where the display comes out). Then run like 3 different water loops with a rad for each...plus one for the cpu. Oh and a 1200 watt psu. But you'd be able to use the other expansion slots. Anyways, I don't think this is for everyone, just for people that want to try and break records....or get a longer e-penis.
 
lol, one day we'll be able to buy quad gpu cores just like with cpus and drop it into like a 6000 pin socket and put in some gddrr4 four into the mobo and thats the system lol. i'd love to see socketed multi core gpu's and memory. some barebone laptops take like socketed mobility radeons and you can upgrade the onboard.
 
that would be sweet also for the north and southbridge :D
