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.

quad sli is more then triple sli right?
You better buy a better processor then the q9450.

No, because Quad SLi is only with two cards, although the two cards are essentially 4 in total.

So you're only taking up two PCI-E slots.

I'm sure the Q9450 won't bottleneck it...

Someone said that 2 GTX's are bottlenecked by his non overclocked Q6600.

There is a problem with frame-buffering in quad-SLI solutions (primarly a DirectX problem). So no you probably won't get anymore FPS with quad-SLI. Quad SLI (I think) is limited to 7950GX2 cards as well. Quad 8800 doesn't' exist (at least I don't think so). What I think you get is image quality improvements (AA, filtering). The additional boards (7950 only) split the load of AA and Texture-filtering. If the games are load balancing friendly.

Unreal engine games = no (not too friendly to Texture Filtering or AA).
Deferred lighting = another no (not too friendly to Texture Filtering or AA).
Half life/source engine = no (I don't think so).
BF2 & 2142 = moderately yes (but crossfire 1950XTX mode produces about equal results at similar high resolution modes).

2-way & 3-way SLI on a 8800 GTX or Ultra are compatible with DirectX frame buffering - from what I understand.

The strength of a lolcat sentence lies in its complete lack of grammar. However, Germany had more countries than itself not so long ago.

I would like to see you doing Slovenian grammar. Write anything in Slovenian. Begin please.
