have you seen how much that one card uses in power...40 amps each, so with the 4 way sli mobo and 4x285 clasified, 160amps, just on the graphics cards 0.o. You would need a dedicated PSU just for a couple of the cards

GTX285 doesnt use anywhere near 40 amps.

Also, Quad sli destroys benchmarks, this probably is no exception because instead of essentially having four 275's, you have four 285's, plus you can watercool them aswell. If any of you remember the pixelated image on the evga website, this is the board and cards that were "blanked out".

Thats recommended minimum amps for the (entire system) if your running that card. The card doesnt pull that on its own.

Yeah, a card on its own pulls at most 15A or so. Heck, i know someone who ran three GTX280's in tri sli on a 750W silencer, although then again they were only running a dual core cpu at the time.

I got this information "leaked" to me about 30 minutes early, while they were still putting information on the website. I had to hold off on posting here til they totally put the site up though because i didnt want anyone over at evga to lose their job.

oh i see, fair enough, you learn something new every day :D

I still dread to think what an i7 system with 4 285's in SLI would pull though if you also had huuuuuge memory and a few raided hard drives :eek:
 
Now thats what you call a Motherboard!

I didnt read through the page,i just admired the pics but did they mention any prices?

i bet its going to be $$$$

seems kinda ridiculous to me...isn't the performance increase from 2 cards to 3 like paper thin?

It a benchmarkers board, they used it to break world records in detriot about a month and a half ago. Quad SLI produces the highest benchmarks, but the current quad sli was 4x275 pretty much(the 295 is just two 275's), four 285's kill benchmarks. Just like the classified, unless your overclocking with dice and ln2/lhe, your pretty much an idiot to buy one. Unless you get the one with the nf200 chips that does full x16 tri sli and are on water, thats the only place i could see where it would be advantageous to a non extreme ocer.
