Best card for 5-way SLI??

[expeacer]

I need to purchase a graphic card which will go 5 ways for my ultimate gaming build. Any idea which card to buy???

I don't think that's possible. Maybe three GTX 690 for 6-way?

Performance scaling is going to be terrible. Having more GPUs doesn't mean performance get multiplied that many times.

Can I make a 5-way SLI 690 then?

 

[Someone Somewhere]

Yeah. I'm fairly sure you can't do 5 way SLI. It maxes at four, IIRC. You can't do more than two 690s.

Go for a trio of 780Tis, if you want to waste money.

You can't 5 way SLi any cards or GPU's.

I strongly suggest you learn more about SLI before thinking about what card to get. No offense.

Ok, lets settle for 4-way SLI then. What is the best card I can get for that purpose?

 

[expeacer]

Can the 780TI be installed 4-ways?

 

[Someone Somewhere]

Yes, but spending ~$3k on GPUs isn't a great idea, usually. At least not unless you just won the lottery.

Make sure you get a nice display setup if you go that overkill on GPUs.

yeah, a stronger single card is better. unless you just do 2 cards sli. 680's or 780's. dont waste your money on bragging rights bro

heres an idea, with that money, build a few decent rigs coupled with a beefy surround sound system in a room connected with a DJ mixer combining all computers. Headphones an add on for eventual peace reasons, but cant beat having friends flogging a room with sounds of war, its insanely spectacular and fun.

i like this guy ^

You guys are probably right. I just want some bragging rights and since I had plenty of cash to spare, I get to throw away money on whatever I want.

It sounds real fun too. You know, I might just do that instead of going 4 or 5 way

There is no such thing as five way SLi, four way SLi is as high as you can go.
