WoW, 4 GPU's. I already read abit about it on AnandTech's review of CES 2006. sounds amazing though, I wish I could get a Quad-Sli system, but there not out yet, and would cost a hell of alot of money.

I've already seen a 4 GPU system from NVidia on some japanese website,not sure if it was the same type of setup, it might have been 2 Sli systems for dual display. I can't read japanese so I don't no.

Since you work at ATI, can you give me free stuff? or atleast information on when ATI might have a Quad-Crossfire type system

Hmmm... is it just me or has anyone else noticed that no video game in existence would utilize the full power of such a system?

I whould hope not, since if a game did it whould be unplayable since the techogaly is not yet avliable to the public. Once the techogly is and becomes more coman place the software will fallow.

That's true, but what about games coming out in the future? Even though I still think quad-sli would still be kinda pointless untill games actually require 2GB of video memory

all Nvidia is trying to prove is that their engineers are better than us at ATI.. well we'll see about that..
