It should work on any Sli board but I would just use one until drivers mature.

ok thanks for the reply, do you know if you can use 3 of the GX2's in Tri sli?

ShadowFold · Mar 29, 2008

No you cant. I dont even understand having 4 let alone 6 lol

DrPepper · Mar 29, 2008

No I don't think you can use tri sli because it is lacking the second sli bridge

You wouldn't notice the performance differance anyway.

You would notice a difference in 1920x1200 and greater in Crysis. But everything else would be overkill.

yer but it would be fun to have

DaedalusHelios · Mar 29, 2008

Too bad drivers don't support it and it doesn't have the second tab hardware wise.

I am about to get my second 9800GX2 for my 780i gaming rig.

2 is overkill :laugh:

but I doubt crysis could use 4 gpu's effectively without a patch

DaedalusHelios · Mar 29, 2008

It does pretty well At 1920x1200 at very high and above.

AA doesn't work though. :laugh:

DrPepper · Mar 29, 2008

would that not kill it anyway with aa

Nope. Two 9800 GX2's get 43 frames with a 3Ghz Quad Intel at 1920x1200 at "very high" and 4GBs of ram in 64bit Crysis.
It will probably be able to do better with the next driver update. :cool:

Thats $1,200 USD of graphics cards though.

DrPepper · Mar 29, 2008

My mum and dad probably spend that on cigarettes soo if they quit for a week I can have to 9800's

In NC cigarettes aren't that expensive. Probably because the majority of them are made not to far from my house.

DrPepper · Mar 30, 2008

I live in the land of kilts and haggis though

where the government tax it to hell

DaedalusHelios · Mar 30, 2008

The average pack of cigarettes here is $3.30USD. Thats with tax here.

What about over there?

Network_guy · Mar 31, 2008

$12 in canada :cry:

DaedalusHelios · Mar 31, 2008

You can get a off-brand carton for that over here. :eek:

I don't smoke but some of my friends do.
