Don't know if many have seen this setup for Quad core SLi 7800GTX SLi but..here it is.

Appologies if it has been posted.

cheers

Yeah, acouple threads on it already. I wana see someone with quad sli do a bench..

My friend has 4 graphics cards hooked up in his machine. Its possable, but seriouslly not needed.

lol, I just wanna see a program(except Benchmark-Progs) which really need so much power! But this thing must be awesome!

That can get 32xAA on Time Shift!

Now that is Pure Pwnage!

To bad there is no CPU out that wont get bottlenecked...Yeah it would be awesome to have 4 7800GTX GPUS even a FX-60 would get held back...

 

[StepsAscend]

This is getting a little out of hand I think.

 

[Namrac]

I believe a FX-60 bottlenecks even one GTX... though I may be thinking of the GTX 512.

Does anyone esle think the Fire case is kind of dumb...I mean yeah it looks cool but I would rather it be handmade all aluminum.

Also, price????? My guess is $8,000, plus they are ruinining it with Intel Chips, they need a FX-60 or 62 rather and OC that puppy.

a 955D at 4.25GHz and 2GB of DDR600 @ 667MHz is pretty damn fast if you ask me, but I think they could have done better

The computer will be by no means slow, it has a dual core at 4.25, even if it IS Intel that is still faster than heck.

And 6600GT, ok 4 graphics cards.. . But they arnt in SLI or anything.

And Namrac, a FX-60 does not even un "bottleneck" a 6800GT, not even a 6800 likely. Graphic technology moves alot faster than CPU's, but the one fact remains still, the faster the graphics card, the more fps, no matter what CPU basically.

Was on toms hardware a while back. But the bench's arnt that impressive to be honest. Mostly this was because of the driver support for 4 GPU's.

edit: Obviously, the benches are impressive, but I mean compared to just normal SLI'ed 7800's, its not that much of a gain.

 

[Jori]

Those arnt the same cards. Those are 2 7800GT's on 1 PCB in SLI. The ones on the dell is 4 7800GTX 512 that is officially supported by Nvidia and is made just for them.

 

[jon.baldie]

woooow that is some uber pc... i would seriously kill for a rig with 4 7800 gtx's in...

I knew they wern't the same make of cards card, but I didn't read it properly

Still, I just thought people would like to see similar benches. Obviously the Dell*shudders* has been professionaly developed and obviously performs better.

That dell's quad gpu setup uses SLI? Read around they use two SLI bridges also . This is true Quad SLI

Its like 4 PCB's connected and going through a single PCI-E 16x I think as well.

Those are the dual 7800GT's these are 4 full 7800GTX's.....totally different

ahhh damn! thats things awsome, but seriously one is enough hahah....i mean 4 is just bragging rights

 

[wudaddy]

Are they out on the market right now? If so how much do they cost per machine?
