holy f*cking shit!

Anybody got an idea if this ultimate waste of money will work, or give any benefit, in current games?!

I´ve ordered that thingy yesterday for a friend of mine, including 8GB´s RAM and three Asus EN8800GTX...

I´m curious how that monster will perform...

I'm also gonna buy a 780i triple sli mobo but my 8800GT doesn't support triple sli. But it doesnt matter since im "only" going to have ordinary Sli.

Thats nothing, you can get Quad Cross Fire now, and its even easier with the new 38750 X2, a terraflop of power.....nice.

How much more of an improvement can it be compared to the cost? Seems like the nerd version of a short guy with a small dick driving a Ferrari.

Only GTX and up?
And Ultra?

But are The GT's normal SLI supported?

I've owned SLI, crossfire and 3-way SLI.

3-way SLI... is the best (fastest high-res solution). It is way better than a single card when playing high-resolution modes with AA or Ansio-filtering. Unless you are upgrading to XP 64bit or Vista 64bit. 8GB is a waste. Crap, 4GB is a waste... Crap, 3GB is a waste. You are not going to get any use out anything above 2 GB on vista 32bit with 3-way SLI (due to memory mapping for the hardware). On the 64bit version, drivers are to scarce (at this time, IMO), and nothing really runs (a lot) faster - it's just your not likely to run out of memory if your motherboard allows 8 to 12 GB (or more) installations.

The Windows PAE extensions don't really work either in a 32bit OS environment. You can address above the 4GB limit in Windows, with the 4-bit address extension: BDCedit /set PAE forceEnable : command, modifying the boot to 32+4bit (36 bit) memory addressing. But, unless your motherboard supports moving the memory holes (hardware mapping); you're shit outa luck (about 2GB is all you still see). And, many drivers are not compatible with the PAE memory addressing scheme = instability = a lot of crashing/blue screens.

I can easily overclock my CPU (via the FSB) from 3ghz to 4ghz and overclock the (unlinked) memory by about 5%. The (3) 8800 ultras can be overclocked a lot as well; but the problems is heat - these things run hot - really hot (65C and UP, 90C or more is normal even). Getting a reasonable cooling solution for the 3-way SLI is the real problem (IMO). Because they can be overclocked by a significant amount 20% to 35% safely... which I've done and it screams FPS. But the Heat is ridiculous; I had to take the side-cover off and have a large fan blow on it. Which reduced overall system temp... by some 10-15C.

Right now what I am working on is removing the stock cooling and replacing it; at normal (no overclocked levels) it's moderately adequate. At overclocked rates/temperatures produced - it sucks the big one.

I get doubtful. After going to 1920x1200 on everything I've seriously considering getting another 8800gtx. But then I think, in 6 months or less, another card will come out that's twice as fast as this one.

offtopic: True about Germany though ... the beer, the cars, the conquerage, ownage all the way around.

Until they have DX10 and Visturd optimized... 10 cards wont help... I believe...  Crysis as an example

History contradicts this statement.



I'm thinking of going Quad SLi with the 9800 GX2s. I really don't see a need for three cards.
