NVIDIA Triple SLI: the “Ultimate Gaming Platform”

[CDdude55]

That gonna be very expensive.. This is how they sucker the us PC gamers, cool parts no games.

 

[Agility]

If they're gonna make dual cores the way cpu is they'll have to lower clocks speeds blah blah. It'll also date back to i guess X800?

 

[panchoman]

that would be sweet also for the north and southbridge

true. oh well, p35 got old, went and bought a x38 instead. *pops in the x38* now some as5, with a nice cooler, and waa laa, more performance

 

[panchoman]

i want to see everything become socketed. the gpu, the ram, the nb/sb, etc. and plus we'll need to use socketing similair to that of a cpu for multi core gpu's cause they need loads loads of bandwidth.

 

[strick94u]

If you ran 3 of the old 7950 gtx cards that would be 6 cores
have they gone mad?
For real why not stick to one badass video card I mean whats next Gaming clusters where you hook up 4 quad core pc's with 12 video cards. Think about it you would need a dedicated house and you own power station.

i like nvidia, and the sli concept, been using it for my past few rigs, but i must say this new 3x sli is retarded. 2 cards is ENOUGH.

 

[Grings]

6 pci-e connectors, that would need some meaty psu

 

[hat]

Obviously for the fool who doesn't know what else to do with his money.

 

[zekrahminator]

This is getting comical, how many graphics cards do you freaking need... .

 

[newbielives]

Too true, if they are going to bitch slap us atleast do it with a 9800GTX instead of this tripple SLI bull.

Now if Crysis needs 3 x 9800 ULTRAs to run at max settings, then F$#% PC Gaming

This just getting ridiculous now! The PC gamer = SUCKA!

 

[Jimmy 2004]

Well, some of us are perfectly happy back on one AGP card.

 

[[I.R.A]_FBi]

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.

the length is not what matters its teh thickness ...

I really dont think Crysis need that to plat it on high. But i agree.

I was happy with my old AGP 6800XT with a P4 3GHz except for the PSU, but my uncle offered me this rig. My dad now has the 6800XT.

Now the Quad never worked right from what I have read. So I have a hard time believing that this will.

I think the only reason for this is because of AMDs new chipset coming out. They don't want to get stomped in 3dmark06 too bad IMO. But ATi will be doing 4 2900Xts soon!!!!

 

[hat]

4 2900s. 4x6 PCI-E, 4x8 PCI-E for a total of... 56 pins FTW!!

 

[FOXCONN1115]

I agree.. most people have plenty of room in their cases length wise, I am using an Antec 900 and I have an 8800GTS and have plenty of room to spare length wise, but the thickness of the card and its cooler is what kills us.. most cards now take up 2 to 3 of our PCI/PCI-E slots.. its a waste of mobo slots for things we could use..

 

[FOXCONN1115]

DaMulta, please tell me you're not seriously using a Mach64.. lol

I think you missed the joke

I beleive when he talked about the width he was referring to kwchang007's joke about people buying three graphics cards to get a longer e-penis, not the size of the cards themselves!

O yea it's true

I'm sorry. lol...

 

[Woah Mama!]

This is just insane, The computing market is becoming like the world market for cars. We've only got 4 companies to make our major component decisions on, to run either an AMD+ATI setup of an Intel+nVidia setup. And yet we still can't keep up with only 4 of them! I wonder what sort of PSU you'll need to run tri-SLI and a quad core, with 3TB of storage and 8GB of ram.

 

[Grings]

so wheres they're new gx2 card, i want hexa-sli ffs
