quad sli question

[Gagan]

I'm confused

Available to use noob comsumers or not?

Strictly dell or what?

Not just from dell.

Availible to consumers, but a complete waste of money.

Completely CPU bottlenecked at this point.... though if you'd like to get one card now then buy another later... that's always a thought.

Still overpriced.

sammy that's not it. That's old and is not quad sli like the dell is with the bridge.

Alienware has it too

Did you know that ATI has been making multiple card video systems since like 1992 or earlier? There's a setup like that over at the Lockheed plant near me. It had 32, 128 MB, 256 bit 9800 Pros and each one takes care of rendering just one color bit. They use it in their flight simulators.

What I'd like to know is when nVidia will stop chasing the ever loving frame rate thing at the expense of overall image quality and compatablility with games? When will they stop paying developers like 1C: Maddox Games to make some proprietary mode that produces unplayable frame rates and get down to overall image quality at high eye candy rates?

Whe they finally stop conning the gamers and just come out with a better product, I'll be there to buy that very day!

If its not up to your standard just buy ATI, and stop bitching and moaning.. i'm not stopping you here.. just buy what you like...

Well, it's just that I'd love to have a choice based on overall performance and I don't like getting stuck with any one technoloy choice, that's all.

ATi sucks.
I built my first PC at age 12 In late 99, Don't tell me what to buy though, it really gets to me

Geforce 256 > RAGE ! thx

Didn't voo doo do multi card solutions as well?

Anyway, my understanding of the quad SLI is that
a)it isn't available to consumers yet
b)crazy price point
c)cpu limited

Just go buy a top end card from NV or ATI depending on whom you prefer.
