EVGA is proud to announce the world’s first 4-way SLI capable setup, the EVGA GTX 285 Classified and X58 Classified 4-Way SLI, but the innovative features do not stop there. Everything on the GTX 285 Classified is designed for the extreme enthusiast, from the 8 Phase Digital PWM to the the X-Cool Switch and Dedicated Voltage readpoints! These features and more allow you to do what matters; get the most from your hardware.

In addition to this innovative graphics card, EVGA is also announcing the EVGA X58 Classified 4-Way SLI Edition, this motherboard has an impressive 7 PCIe Expansion slots allowing you to combine up to 4 EVGA GTX 285 Graphics cards for extreme performance! Important note: a case with 9 or more expansion slots is required, 10 for 4-Way SLI

I am still not sure if its a wind up or not haha

Edit:

That is evga's youtube channel and here is a link to the site:

If that is true, its utter piece of crap due to EPIC driver fail.

Hmm, updated the OP, it does seem to be, well, somewhat legit. Cant see the point myself, even if it was true, wouldnt it be x8 x8 x8 x8?

yup. and think about the driver side horrors this is going to spawn. 3 way sli works pretty sketcy atm, and its officially supported.

Even the video says what is obvious; only for breaking 3dmark records.

True, cant see if the card has any real work done to it, its some sort of new cooler, but cant see if there are anymore sli connectors.

Price the same as the FTW it looks.

The board seems to be $50 more than the E760.

Looks like it has two NF200s 8-)

Think it will still be that new Asus P6TD Deluxe for me

Pause the video at :40. Uses standard SLi connectors, with a 4x long bridge.

I love it how Panzer is so negative towards sli in general, when he hasn't even tried 3x sli. I'm not saying it's perfect, but damn don't believe everything you read on review sites, especially the ones claiming shit about the 5800 series already.

LOL HAHAHAHHAH do you really think I base it on some shitty review sites?

Its a fact issues double with every GPU you add.

E: or wait... are you calling me ATi fanboy now too huh? LOL

Have you even used real sli? Not the dual gpu cards?

It's not a fact. It's biased bullshit from a review written with shitty drivers.

Back up your shit with real life experiences not reviews.

I think panzer is right... nvidia and ATI need to stop pushing the envelope and trying to make faster products...lol
They should have stopped with the ti4200...

Love is the answer

Lol you really shouldn't make that kinda assumptions when you don't even know I have had lots of multi card setups. So yes I got it all backep up by own experiences, not some shitty review with beta drivers....

So quit bitching.

Hmm. I only recall you having multiple 295s, and early on in their production. You bitched about it then. Both Ati and Nvidia are improving their drivers. You boasted when ATI apparently improved the 4870X2 by 50%...

Unless you've had tri sli or even a 295 in the last few months you have nothing to back your claims on.

That ancient 800XT is skewing your view on the current gfx market.

LOL The 9.1 cat improved CF by about 10%, Got one 295 from the much later batch too. And 260s had been out pretty long then. Sounds like its you who doesn't have any experience with them.

+1 GPU more = double issues. Its known by everyone who has been running lots of multi-GPU setups.

And WTF it matters what GPU I have right now as temporary?!!?? LOL I have had like 8 G200Bs. Why would I have to get 2 more to see once again how its like when I still hear about same issues every goddamn day?

Ran 2 way sli for 2 years, never saw any major problems. There are slight issues but never "double" the issues by adding a second card.

Didn't you have 8800GTS SLi? And you speak to me about personal experiences!

I had 8800GTX 3-way SLi before moving to G2xx cards.

I take it you haven't even heard about issues like micro-stuttering, random slowdowns, screen tearing and screen flickering?

Had all but one during a single driver. ONE driver. Nvidia fixed the issue 6 months before i gave my other 2 G92s to my bro.

I had more issues because of my creative card than Sli.

I've known about the stuttering from reviews.

The only issue I had with your posts was that you stated that adding only one more GPU creates double the issues. As I said before standard sli doesn't pose nearly the amount as tri and quad/4 way. Only reason I disagree with you.

You have more experience tri+ sli. I only know by what I hear- lots of guys on the EVGA forum running tri sli and having no significant issues. Not a large percentage of nvidia owners run more than standard anyways.

I ran SLI for quite a while (Albeit just 7600GT's) and didn't have any problems I can think of...

Except SLI stuttering in CoH and some other random times, but that was fixed with a patch by them (for CoH) and the other times it just hardly happened at all, really.

The G92 SLi drivers are exceptionally good. Maybe because they pretty much could use the G80 drivers out of the box so there was double the time fo drivers. Can't say the same of current ones tho. Single-GPU ran pretty much without issues at all but as soon as I enable one more there is MUCH more issues, Not necessarily as bad as BSOD, but micro-stuttering etc,
