NVIDIA and Dell Display Quad-SLI System
Ryan @ CES writes "Today at the Consumer Electronics Show, Dell and NVIDIA announced a new XPS system coming later this year that will sport not one, not two, but FOUR GeForce 7800 GTX 512 GPUs running in a quad-SLI configuration. There are two physical graphics cards in the system still, but each has two seperate PCBs with a GPU and 512 MB of memory on each. PC Perspective has some information including pictures of the cards and Dell system as well as specs and details on how NVIDIA handles the new SLI data configurations. No word yet on power consumption and heat levels, of course."
Hello, moderators! This isn't interesting. It's either a bad joke, or someone completely clueless.
Yeah it will be enough to draw the desktop but forget about seeing Clippy move. He's gonna be one laggy mofo!
I don't think this is aimed at gamers, exactly. I would think this would be aimed at professionals. I could be wrong. Who else would need the ability to drive 4 monitors at over 1600x1200 each?
Could someone explain how this get modded to +5 Insightful?
I understand that SLI is a silly buzzword, targeted at a fairly small niche market, and neither the article summary nor the article itself bothered to explain it. But if people don't understand the article, why the hell are they moderating comments?
Is the slashdot moderation system just a formalized system where a bunch of clueless wanker stand around a water cooler shooting the shit, and each day they draw secret lots to select the toady responsible for telling the other idiots that they're smart, interesting, and funny?
Hello, moderators! This isn't interesting. It's either a bad joke, or someone completely clueless.
Yet they're modded up, and you're modded down. There may be some deeper philosophical meaning there, but I'm too busy laughing at the incredible cluelessness of slashdot moderators to care...
