Can you run two sli's on one board

[sketchy69]

can u run 2 sli setups on one board with say 4 8800gt's can you if so ima do it

 

[michiganteddybear]

you want to run 1 monitor off the quad sli?? or 2 seperate sli's?? as in 2 monitors (one on each pair).

anything is 'possible', just whether or not its worth the trouble/expense...

Isn't that what running two 7950GX2's in SLI is? I do remember seeing an ASUS Quad SLI board on Tom's Hardware a long time ago. The board actually had 4 pci-e slots. Don't know how fast the throughput was though. I know it wasn't x16 on all 4 slots though.

yea idk if it is quad sli then thats waht i mean but im saaying one like 32inch tvmonitor on 4 8800gt's i guess all linked together or 2 sli bridges on 4 vid cards.

Not without a ATI board using the 790fx chipset and 4 ATI cards in crossfire(coming this month). I dont belive you can SLI with more than 2 GPU's with Nvidia.

you can, its called quad sli: http://www.slizone.com/object/slizone_quadsli.html.

If it's worth it or not is the real question. If it's a TV rather than a monitor, the resolution will likely be only 1280x720 or 1366x768, at that low resolution quad SLI would be pointless, normal SLI would even be questionable.

SLI just two cards and save yourself the headache and the money. 2x SLI GT's will perform wonderfully at that res

You will not get quadruple the performance. SLI (2 cards) by itself will not even double the performance of one card let alone 4. I think in theory SLI and multi GPU setups are a great idea but if I'm dropping that kind of cash on 4 video cards I would naturally expect performance to go up quite of a bit.

However I can see doing 2x8800GT for roughly about the same price as a GTX and probably outperforms it.

Quad SLI is deffinately an option.However,as the owner of a 7950GX2,I do kknow that NVIDIA has some serious work to do on their quad SLI drivers.As it stands,quad sli drivers suck,and quite often the quad setup performance is very poor,even compared to a single card.That's the reason I don't run 2 of these cards right now.Quad SLI is very feasible and so is running up to 6 monitors from them.Just need decent drivers from NVIDIA.Goodluck.

What does this link have to do with quad SLI and its dated in March.
