Alienware Aurora ALX with QUAD SLI

[Gagan]

I know it's about alienware.

But I"m saying Quad SLI was supposedly restricted to PC builders like dell and alienware and falcon and whatnot

i think they are inflating prices due to the consumers not being able to get the quad sli cards ourselves..

o i get it now Gagan, totally agree. hmm...i wonder if we'll see these cards on ebay . watch out for the scammers who sell pics of the card

 

[Gagan]

hehehehehe
So true.

That's the reason this junk is inflated because the dual core g71's won't be available individually though Nvidia has talked about releasing a ONE GIG GTX (not dual core though!)

Thats news to me.

So if I wanted to build a Quad SLI rig I couldnt just buy teh parts off newegg and build one?

Reason?

No mobos support it?

Quad SLI cards are somehow different from regualr ones?

GPU: quad 7900(GT or GTX??)---------------------------4x$300($1200)

I believe Quad-SLI 7900's will be running at reduced clockspeeds (430/1200???)...I can't remember where I read it or what the clocks were (even though i just read it a few hours ago). So technically, the Quad-SLI 7900's are neither the GT nor the GTX variants. I guess it's to avoid heating issues.

hmm, that's interesting. sounds right about the heating issues too....4 7900's near each other isn't a good cooling solution
