CeBIT 2005: SLI Shuttle Surfaces

Posted by timothy on from the small-packages dept.

Kez writes "You wouldn't think it could be done, but you can actually fit two high performance video cards into a Shuttle XPC and run them in SLI mode. Shuttle are being a bit coy about the whole affair, despite the fact that they have the system on show. As such, no internal photos are available, but HEXUS.net has a writeup explaining what's inside."

    Why not do a daily summary of multiple CeBIT stories?

    Not only do SFF computers have weaker power supplies, they are SMALL.
    The GeForce 6800 Ultra cards afaik all take up 2 slots (one connector, double wide though).
    And from benchmarks I've seen using two 6800 non-ultras doesn't equal the performance of a single 6800 Ultra. Plus the system would have to have some crazy cooling going on and would likely be very loud. The only way I see this being reasonable is if they use a internal power supply + an external.
