Excellent find !

I linked to this from the Video Forum, as I'm not sure everyone looks at all the Forums.

After reading through the article, I'm interested in a couple of things...

1) How it compares to a pair of GTX 512s (the video ram would be equal in that case).

2) How much the cards cost (and if they're cheaper than 2 GTX cards or 2 GTX 512 cards).

3) If nVidia is planning on supporting this configuration in reference drivers.

Any chance of a preview / review AnandTech??

Even if this product never makes it to retail, this is spectacular on the totally-geeked-out-insane-hardware-configuration-o-meter :). 4 GPUs in one system... wow.

The information I got out of the article is...it doesn't work. Even if it did, who would pay $2000 just for the graphics cards?

*waits for Gigabyte to strike back with a Dual 7800 GTX 512MB card that supports Quad-card-SLI and uses more recent modified dual-core nVidia drivers*

What I got out of this article is that even THG can write a good piece occasionally! (kind of says a lot about the 1000 monkeys with typwriters theory)

Who's up for that ski trip in Hell this weekend?? :)

THG's benchmarking of

512MB
1GB
2GB

memory configurations was also very well done. It pretty much confirms that 512MB cant cut it today.

I found the power consumption interesting. If an FX57 and 4 gpu's only draws 370 W at load kind of makes me wonder why all these 500+W psu's exist.

Oh lol just realised the gpu's have their own power bricks lol

I wonder how much juice they draw?

That means we can now achieve Quad SLI with four GeForce 7800 GT chips and a total of 1 GB of video memory.

Oh dear. Sorry but they obviously still aren't doing their research properly.

Still, nice benchmarks! Although it would've been cool to see tests on resolutions like 1920x1200 4xAA/16xAF

Kinda like any review site... including AT.... Not all articles are written by the best writers, or unbiased writers, and of course... readers can be narrow minded as well.

They all do a pretty good job of reviewing new technology as it relates to our hobby/habit, or business needs.

Are you kidding? This is the ultimate e-penis pump. Makes it at least 2" bigger in as little as 1 week
