Quad sli review

[Cyanide]

Hmm only about 4-5 fps faster than xfire x1900's at uber high res with aa and af, not very impressive tbh. Maybe when they get the drivers working better.

Or a few years down the line with a new generation of CPU that won't bottleneck the Graphics Cards

Complete waste of money as when DX10 hits the street its obsolete so unless they offer a free upgrade path to DX10 cards save your money.

Tomshardware just posted a full review and looking @ their benchies you can see unless its 1920x1200 or higher with max AA + AF only a few % quicker than current Xfire/SLI setups.

er......gimmick?? anyone??

sli is still a fairly new technoology, they clearly just want to sucker more money with quad sli.

and look at those benches......embaressing if you ask me.

Probably as they are absolutely crippled as there aint a CPU out with enough oomph to run the things, they are seriously bottlenecked, what a complete waste of money, bring it out in about 10 years when we have CPU's that will be able to handle em.

With Quad core CPU's due out next year, i don't think we'll be waiting 10 years for the cpu's to be handling them...

TBH its a bit pointless unless you are absolutely loaded with cash. Just wait 9 or 10 months and a new GPU with the same power as 2older cards will be launched.

Erm its out this year, There will be a quad core conroe chip AFAIK (the top end extreme one will be )

Kentsfield won't be out until Q1 of next year
