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.

    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).
