best thing ive heard today cheers it would be hilarious to hear GPU's spooling

accidently quoteed the above statement

which I must say is a close second

[citation][nom]porksmuggler[/nom]you're kidding, right? Does anyone make a forced induction kit for PCs?[/citation]

No benches? Are they just taking pictures of it then?

[citation][nom]bogcotton[/nom]I'm pretty sure that isn't possible, as, as far as I know [lol at all those as's] quad sli is as high as sli goes.[/citation]
Do you know if this applies to ATI as well? could you run four 5970's in octo-fire? If not, does anybody know if you could have two separate crossfire setups on the same board, say card 1 and 2 for monitor one and 3 and 4 for monitor two? Actually, if octo-fire is possible, I'll bet you could fill all seven of EVGA's slots with liquid cooled 5970's...That would be nice...

When they get it running, they need to test it out by running one of those GPU accelerated MD5 and NTLM cracking apps

With a GTX260 and a decent quad core, and running a clean bootup, you will get around 1 billion hashes a second. We need to see what a 4 way SLI will do with those cards.

I have a challenge for EVGA, how about building a solar powered setup to power this hexa-core, quad SLI 480 GTX monster gaming rig. That solar powered setup will take up some real estate on the roof, or wherever else you can fit it.

Bench results:
Crysis at 1680x1050, 8xAA, 16xFSA, all settings maximum

Average FPS: 324 (for 10 seconds), then drops to 12 because of thermal protection kick-in.

I wonder if even the new 6 cores could push 4 of those?

Global warming... meet Fermi

Nvidia Is melting Ice caps!

[citation][nom]zoemayne[/nom]having 4 of them tightly packed like that temps will be an issue. probably need an extra fan(s) on them.[/citation]
LMAO!

[citation][nom]Marco925[/nom]I'm thinking how I'd be sitting by the campfire with these things, One guy play Crysis while the rest of us Roast Marshmallows[/citation]
LMAO!
