They have said that it was possable to run 4 of them at one time. They just need to make a driver to do that

The other 2 would join the other 2 over the buss.

interesting...
how much power would that draw though? i'd imagine you would need AT LEAST 1500w...

I bet a 1k would do it.

doubt it. you're talking about 8 cores that draw 105w each at stock settings. that's 840w for your graphics cards alone.
throw in a quad barcelona or yorkfield, that's another 150w.
you're already looking at 990w.

So two cards would attach with the crossfire bridge and the other two thru the PCI-e bus??
