Short Quad SLI cards on their way - TechAmok
Short Quad SLI cards on their way - [hardware] 02:40 PM EDT - Apr,13 2006 - (5 comments) The
Inquirer reports that new, shorter Quad SLI cards are about to hit the
retail market. Quad SLI requires special dual-PCB graphics cards, but current
models are unfortunately very long, and it would be difficult to fit them in
many users' cases. This is expected to change "by the end of the month as NVIDIA
introduces a so-called GeForce 7950 GTX 2 (Arghhh. More name craziness!). The card is said to be shorter
than current Quad SLI boards, and will reportedly be available to end users for
800 to 900 apiece.

"To cut the story short, here is the message: expect high-end desktops with TWO CPU SOCKETS soon... i.e. Quad-SLI (and possibly Quad CrossFire) mainboards with dual-socket workstation/server CPUs, but desktop balls and whistles like overclocking, low-latency memory, super sound, etc."
Maybe I spoke too soon.
Well, we will see. I don't plan to buy Quad-SLI anyway :) I wonder how the game companies gonna close the gap in terms of a reason for why you need x GFX card and x CPU... | |

Where the hell are they getting those numbers from? They must be talking about when the card was first released. It just costs a little bit more than $500 now, and thats about half of what they are talking about (600 = $1050).
Inquirer is wack. | |
