Quad PCIe Motherboard

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the imagining-eight-30-inch-widescreen-flatpanels dept.

SlipKid writes "PCI Express Graphics cards have allowed for some new and innovative ways to increase rendering horsepower in Desktops and Workstations. Recent introductions of NVIDIA's SLI and ATI's CrossFire technology have enabled dual PCIe Graphics cards in a load-sharing architecture. Motherboard manufacturers are jumping into the fray now and Gigabyte has released a Quad PCI Express graphics enabled motherboard, capable of running four cards at once. The board is not capable of running Quad SLI, mostly due to lack of NVIDIA driver support currently but it does offer support for eight simultaneous display outputs on four Graphics cards."

    Um, right. If by 'NVIDIA' you mean '3DFX' and by 'recent' you mean 'ten years ago'.

    Sheesh. Kids these days, they got no respect.
