I have a few problems

  1. Far too slow
  2. Far too cheap
  3. Doesnt consume enough power
  4. The cards are not big enough
  5. That jakup guy must be sooooooo loaded. :(

He works for Evga apparently.
 
Very nice indeed!

Although I have a quick question, did Nvidia ever get quad SLI working properly? I can remember a thread a while back that dual X1950XTX could beat quad SLI so it comes to no suprise that dual 8800GTX can beat quad sli.

Very nice numbers though!

FEAR was one of the few (only) games where it worked correctly so the 8800 scores in FEAR do seem impressive.

A recent Firing Squad 1950xtx crossfire article was giving it 80fps (I'm assuming thats average) at 1920x1200 with 4xaa/16af in FEAR. The 8800gtx SLI there is giving 126 average and I'm guessing the min and max will be a bit higher as well. The 8xQ quality is giving about the same as the Crossfire. 50%ish increase using new motherboard and drivers for both so more performance may still be possible with mature drivers.

I think those numbers are pretty good and about realistic for a next generation part in comparison to recent ones.
 
Im not spending £1k on graphics, not when the same stuff will be available for like £500-600 SLI, in the next 12 months.... with more games to use it.. I struggle to find stuff that challenges my GX2 and duo extreme pulling 10k 3dmarks, I don't see the point in spending £1k its completley worthless in actual usage.. better off waiting for it all to die down before spending that money on the quickest depreciating component of the system.
