Isn't the 970 limited to 3-way SLI?


No, it's got 2 SLI connectors. Means that you can do 4 way SLI.


Sorry to say but this isn't correct..A 970 is limited to 3 way SLI while the 980 can do Quad..

Exactly right, Ken; 3-way SLI is the maximum. I guess nVidia were worried about people wanting to do 4-way SLI with the 970 and decided to segment off the feature for only the 980 cards.


Actually, I've just watched a video that states that this card does support 4-way SLI.

It saids 3-way max in Nvidia's website
