So I guess I'm just not a hardcore enough of a PC gamer because I've never yet been inclined to do an SLI or Crossfire setup at all. So, while I am still using just 1 video card and not evening thinking about going to 2...there are others who actually have a need to run 4????
Honestly, is there really a "need" for this much video horsepower...or is it simply a matter or raising benchmarks or just having the most bragging rights?
99% of people don't need four cards, let alone three.
Two cards is the most that most people could want for heavy duty gaming and graphics design work.
One card works more than well enough to game effectively.
My dream rig is a beige box Pentium 2 running at 266 MHz...with a case covered in winning lottery tickets. :)
I was looking into this mobo yesterday, It's pretty impressive, the 7 pci-e being what sold me, but because of that there's no pci slot, I've got a pci TV Tuner that I can't do without....changed my mind, too common!!
this is THE ONE - EVGA X58 Classified 4-Way SLI
"EVGA is proud to announce the world's first 4-Way SLI motherboard, the EVGA X58 Classified 4-Way SLI Edition, this motherboard has an impressive 7 PCIe Expansion slots allowing you to combine up to 4 EVGA GTX 285 Graphics cards for extreme performance!
Important note: a case with 9 or more expansion slots is required, 10 for 4-Way SLI. See this page for a list of compatible PC cases."
won't fit in the Corsair Obsidian
and also
Too bad the 'Antec 200' or 'Tagan El Diablo' cases aren't on that list......
Bragging rights, definatelyWanting to have the best Rig possible is a lot of dudes dream, don't count me out, hehe...
EDIT: I posted the wrong info. sorry!
