Now the question is are gigabyte just showing off or is this going to be a real world solution to something, y on earth would you need that kinda of gpu power. Can you imagine the PSU needed - yikes
Permanently confused
kinda 'yesterday's' news don't you think?
When nvidia decides to bring in a 4 way SLi connector with avid software support.. then lets talk business...
Me want Ultrabook
Just need that and 8x 24" widescreens and you could blow half your years wage in one go!![]()

Surely youd want to have 8 screens to show of 4 dual display cards![]()
Then set them up in 2 rows of four = cinema screen![]()
Shocking edit hax by Atomic.![]()
Oh, i thought you were talking about this 4 way review/preview

Could be useful for 3d work if you can do it with quadros, games is complete overkill, unless you want to start playing on twin 30" cinema displays or something.
I would wager that the whole point of it is to show off what nVidia SLI can do and what ATI Crossfire cannot.
It usefulness to even the most rabid of gamers is dubious at best.
In fact all the benchmarks of the new 16x16 SLI that I have seen show no improvement at all over 8x8 SLI,….in fact there was a slight performance deficit.
8x8x8x8 SLI,….

LOL,…. Just kidding
It’s good to see IMO but I don’t really want one. Maybe a new Athlon 64 X2 5000+ or FX 60 on a nice new M2 socket SLI motherboard,….maybe even M2 Crossfire,…
Or maybe,….maybe a dual core FX chip,…..
But this,……this,…..nah.

The reports I've seen show no change in most apps for 16x/16x SLI, and a siginificant improvement in a small few.
Anyway, the big benifit of four physical 16x slots is the multi monitor support. 8+ monitors might be very useful for some people.
Also, if you need SLI and a high end PCI-E raid controler, or two, (most of wich are PCI-E 8x), you have a use for all those slots.

I kept 6 trusted serving men, they taught me all I knew.
There names were what and where and why and how and when and who.
(I also had the HEXUS forums on speed dial just in case)
Do you know one of the large computer shop in Hong Kong, instead of using paper to list the price in the shop, they have an array of 10 15" monitors for the sole purpose of listing the price list. (Bear in mind they got as much stuff as SCAN if not more, and they list EVERYTHING on the 10 monitors in 2x5 configuration)Originally Posted by oralpain
They probably did that with an old machine with an AGP card plus 4 PCI display cards.
4 7800GTX will be probably very useless as many games with a single 7800GTX is bottlenecked by even the fastest CPU. Give a X2 to match the 2 cards, and you'll probably need Dual Opty 275 to match the 4 cards, and Quad 875 to match 2 DUAL cards?
You could theoretically make a Quad board with 4 CK804 chipsets with 80 lanes, and Quad FULL 16X slots (for 4 Dual cards).
Consider a custom made Quad board cost 2K~4K, 4 875s cost 14K, 16G ECC+REG DDR400 ram cost 1.6K, 4 Dual GPU 7800GTX cost 2.5K, Dual PCP&P 1KW PSU cost 300? Add the custom case, a bunch of SCSI 15K.4, a Creative X-Fi, etc. Don't forget 8x 2405FPW/ 30" Apple Cinema?
