Quad SLI from NVidia

[Pariah]

PC Perspective has an article up about a quad SLI 7800GTX 512 system that NVidia is developing putting 2 GPU's on a PCB so only 2 PCI-E slots are required. The oddest part is that this is apparently being developed for Dell. My brain hurts just thinking about what this system will cost considering what a highend XPS system goes for now. Anyway, the case is pretty nice looking if nothing else.

NVIDIA and Dell Bring Quad SLI Power to Life

holy fvck (head explodes)

thats a nice case, too

nVidia and Dell are going to get a lot of attention...

now all they need to do is start putting the AMD cpus that they sell into their actual computers...

wow and I thought the quad 7800GT's was crazy

Wouldn't make a huge difference. I have a P 630 running with a 7800 GTX and 2GB of ram. FEAR runs great at 16x12. The power of gaming lies in the video card, MUCH more so than cpu.

i read that and thought, 'how'd he get a PCIe mobo for a p3 630?'

The only reason I dont like dells, is because they run intel CPU's.

Thats one hot setup though.

Not when you have four GPUs...if you're going to spend that much money on video cards for gaming, you should get the fastest gaming processor as well: AMD.

If I were building I would have definitely got an AMD, but cost was a factor, and when you can get stuff like THIS, cpu doesn't matter.

Can you buy that? That would get me into PCIe easy and cheap!!! I have seen people post that stuff but dont know how to go about buying it.

this is from the article:
"Consider the standard Dell SLI system costs around $3-4,000 you can expect this custom designed PC to cost at least double that. So start saving those pennies! But hey, if you have to get the best..."

but i gotta admit, that's one nice computer right there. who's signature is on the case?

That 1 whole PCI expansion slot.

People who get that kind of system for that kind of price are using scripts to continuously check dell's inventory.

Did you guys see the video of the unveiling over at c|net? The most interesting thing I got out of that is the speed comparison between this machine and the top supercomputers. With its rated teraflop (5.2 :Q) output Jen-Hsun Huang said it would rank number 70 on that list. Now I know that you should not compare between radically different computers, it is interesting nonetheless.
