NVIDIA Do-It-Yourself Quad SLI Launched

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the what-to-do-with-a-second-mortgage dept.

Spinnerbait writes "Today, NVIDIA will be releasing their Forceware v91.37 drivers and with them will be officially endorsing Do-It-Yourself Quad-SLI. HotHardware has put together an article detailing the steps necessary to assemble and configure a high-end Quad-SLI rig, and they give some thoughts regarding XHD Gaming and its associated costs. Those of you that are hell-bent on gaming ultra-high resolutions (1920X1200 or 2560X1600 for example), along with the highest available image quality, might want to give one of these setups a look." Before making a purchase I would recommend building that water-cooled credit card first.

    Yes it does. It's much easier to take their shit after stabbing them.

    Died about 2 pages into the article, 1 minute after its /. debute... oh well. A new record perhaps?

    From what I've read so far however, unless you have a big screen HDTV that you game with that supports high resolutions with a fast response time and refresh rate(1% of the gaming market), you WILL NOT need the ultra expensive quad SLI.

    I sold my wife and car, and I get my quad sli setup when it arrives in the mail tomorrow.

    Who cares if it's complete overkill. Overkill is good kill.

    Everyone knows the main bottleneck in a modern gaming PC is the network card, not the graphics card!

      To totally alleviate CPU usage and ethernet bottlenecks I advise using RS-232 instead. The other benefits are that you can connect to that new-fangled Compuserve BBS service if you also have an acoustic coupler. You can also save on cabling costs by using damp string.

    Yeah I have a serious compatability issue between my wife and new PC hardware. She's AGP (a grouchy person).
