    gtx 285 quad sli: is it possible

    hey guys is it possible to have 4 gtx 285 in quad sli?

    P.S- say for example in the asus rampage II the first 2 pci-e 16x slots are populated.if i add a sound card on the 3rd pci-e 16x slot would it reduce the 2nd pci-e 16x slots bandwith to 8x?

    No it is not possible, and the 3rd pci-e slot AFAIK in the rampage is 8x electrical, but it is pci-e 2.0 so it shouldn't reduce performance, I doubt 16x PCI-e 1.1 is being used to its full potential except for the current dual gpu boards.
