The Quad SLI Do-It-Yourself Experience

Only a month or two ago Guru3d took a peek at the NVIDIA's GeForce 7950 GX2 where we tried to enable Quad SLI with the help of two GeForce 7950 GX2 graphics cards. At that time the results were quite a catastrophe and Guru3D halted that "mini" review within one page as there was only one game really supported. Not exactly NVIDIA's fault, Guru3D was just curious. Back then Guru3D stated that they very much doubted if NVIDIA would get Quad SLI running... ever.
Well okay so that was a little presumptuous. The new ForceWare 91.27 Quad SLI driver was posted recently.
What Guru3D will do today is simple, they'll briefly guide you as to what you need to think about when you are buying Quad SLI (components), then they'll tell you a little about the installation, followed by a dozen tests we ran on a Conroe based system, the experience of HR gaming and close all that with a conclusion.

Yeah for spending money!!! Hilbert the articles author suggested that you should spend between 2000-2500USD for a Quad SLI configuration, and to think people get upset over the AMD 4x4 for it's high cost. No question those cards are power hungry, and will not be suitable for those that value quiet systems over those that make a lot of racket. |
