Sorry i forgot about the link in my excitement corrected it Now

Big waist of money considering that the most you'll get out of SLI (two cards) with any game is at best is around 60% so how much more can tripple SLI give us, 25% more for tripple the price? Some people have more money then they have brains!

Actually, the tests definitely show very big improvements in high stress tests.
I think you mean that some people have lots more money than you and that annoys you :>

And yes, my Wife would castrate me if I spent about $1800+ on Video cards :>>
Too bad it does not work with the 8800GT.

Tri SLI and Qual Crossfire= Over kill

Over kill is apparently a relative term.

Heyyou27, that looks like it could possibly be a driver issue in Crysis. I only say that because the it seems to scale pretty damn well in the other games, but the same gains dont seem that apparent with Crysis. Thats just my opinion though, we'll have to wait and see if a driver update could fix any of that. Too bad all the games dont scale as well as F.E.A.R, perfect 3x performance increase from the results in the original link at the highest res.

Tri sli looks like a bit of a turkey. Cheapest card you can do it with is the gtx, and you'll need a power supply rated in the 'three gorges damn' bracket. Even if it worked flawlessly, that is a lot of money in anyones book.
Quad-crossfire will be alot cheaper, but then again, is it worth it either?

@blackened144, wasn't F.E.A.R the only game that worked (scaled) with the original quad-sli (gx250's)?

i dont get why they dont just start making quadcore gpus

Actually, 3-way SLI doesn't seem that ridiculous if you already have 2 GTX/Ultra's. I'm actually considering it after seeing reviews of how well it scales with high IQ. I've been enjoying my GTXs for well over a year now (bought at a discount through EVGA Step-Up) and don't mind spending the extra dough. The only drawback I see (other than spending another $500 on a card) is I'll need a 1200W PSU - I can, however, re-use this in my next build.

Of course, you don't NEED to pay $1800 to play a game. As with anything, you do need to spend an inflated price if you want the fastest/best - it's the Mustang vs. Ferrari model. I think even nV understands not a lot of people are willing to spend this much for 25% more performance - 3-Way SLI, like Quad SLI, is more of an oooh-aaah product that will appeal to a small minority (contrarily, Quad SLI sucked compared to 3-Way SLI).

It's especially attractive to enthusiasts seeing that G100 probably won't be out until late spring or early summer (thanks to little competition from AMD in the high-end ).

Nvidia and Ati should really work on making single cards utilize the pci-e 2.0 to it's fullest instead of scewing around with a thousand cards in one system. This is getting ridiculous... Hey when crysis 2 comes out what do we need to play that? How bout ten frickin cards, give me a break.

Give me some money.

my modded zx10 will crush your F50 up to 200mph.. and then ill lose

WoW 800Watts full load @ default clocks. Thats balls. Considering that you might as well include the power bill in your system budget, and I'm not exagerating.

If you are going to run Tri SLI, good luck cooling it.
