I was checking this out on i think it was toms hardware and they seem to be campairing these a single card with SLI and Cross Fire, and they are holding their own very well if that is the case. I just want to see what these puppies can do in a SLI settup of their own :yaya:. Quad gpus, whats next :dunno:

cool, very expensive 2, $600+

ow and whats next, think a motherboard with 6 pci-e slots and in each a 7950 GX2

aparantly its good, but also expensive for most of us:wallbash:

Putting two GPUs on one card is not really anything new. See Asus' Extreme N7800GT, for instance. Heck, professional rendering cards have had multiple GPUs for years. Gigabyte has a Quad SLI motherboard (4 PCI-E x16 slots,) though I'm not sure if four dual-GPU cards will work on it (let alone fit!) What would the bandwidth numbers be for a quad-GPU system, anyway? I'm just curious as to how much will go to waste.

i thought the performance wasn;t all it cracked up to be with these cards, certainly not worth the price you pay for them....

i was gonna get 2 in quad but i desided to save the extra cash and got x1900xtx in xfire.

There are alot of bad things with it atm too. it needs a game profile for each game to be able to use the quad,without the profile it will only use ONE GPU out of four. and there are only a few profiles out ATM and not one for bf2 or CS:S (my guess is it will take awhile to as they would be making sure the new release's have a profile. so alot of games you would be better off unpluging 1 card so it will use two gpu's)
also they lowered something (ram i think) to help with the heat problem from the 7900GTX(think it is called)

i feel it could be worth it in a few months when games have profiles, though in a few months there will be something else better to replace it!
other thing is the tests was done using standard cards with sli or xfire you can water cool for better overclocking, you cant with the quad as you cant get to the bottom board. sure it may not beat the quad in a game with a quad profile but it will on games without.

unless you have a massive screen res then it COULD be worth the cost
