Tri Sli ??

[Archangel]

So is it actually worth it? Or sort of a waste like normal SLI?

I don't consider SLI to be a waste tbh. I've been using these cards almost since their release (true, bought the 2nd one because I could get it quite cheap, but still) and they still run crysis etc quite well actually. (while beeing what, 3 years old or so by now? )

if i could just see a system with 3 8800Ultras...i'd cry.

Get your tissues out mate!

Why the 680i? last PCI-E slot is x8 speed. Need a 780i for full bandwidth

The guy above does have the 780i

thats a big negative ghost rider, that is the 680i in the pics above

 

[Kornowski]

Yeah, you're right, just looked it up, my bad!

 

[Cleric7x9]

does anybody know if its possible to do triple SLI with the 680i?

 

[Kornowski]

That guy has done it, the one I posted the pics of, he's got three Ultras and a 680i...

Or am I wrong again?

ha ha. You answered that question in your previous post.

Apparently, you can run Tri-SLi on the 680i, but the 3rd (middle) slot runs at X8. The 780i would be better for that type of configuration.

Tri-SLI is a waste for games other than Crysis

Now, that maybe the case.
I'd hate to try and predict what anyone will be saying in 12 months time.

 

[Fritzjavel]

yeah that true, because everyone know PC will always be the Ultimate Gaming Machine... not PS.. and games will only keep asking for more... maybe three way sli maybe the new standered with motherboards..

omg i so want the 8800 ultra, 2 would be nice but 3 would be awesome. i think the ultra is prob the best looking GPU's.

What I have read from developers is the three PCI slots is for dual graphics cards and one extra graphics card to run physics. What games need dual cards in the first place anyways?
