You can't buy tri-sli, but you can buy 3 GTX-280 video cards and set them up in SLI mode on a MB that supports SLI.

Whichever one is on sale. Or has the biggest rebate. Or comes with the coolest game.

the 4870x2 and the 4850x2 are the best cards on the market followed by the 280

You do realize that that's just 8 GF7900s in a box. Far from top of the line, easily destroyed in gaming by the GF9800GX2 let alone an HD4870X2.

Then you need to get them running in SLi and with Vista drivers (great GF7 & vista :pfff: ) since max of 6 of the 8 would work in XP using SFR & AFR simultaneously.

You FAIL !! [:thegreatgrapeape:5]

Next time at least link to the 2000 series. :kaola:
