EVGA Experiments With 4-Way Fermi GTX 480 SLI

Never mind the benchs, what are the temps?!?!? That thing doesn't even look like it's water cooled even....

I guess your really don't need to run these full load, so the temps should not raise too much if the case has enough positive air flow. Noise could be an issue though.

And if Nvidia makes a dual GPU card of these (on par with the 5970) think of those in a 4-way SLI. Or should I say, 8 way.

What is that motherboard with all the PCI-E Sockets? Geeezzz....

Now that, could fry an egg...

having 4 of them tightly packed like that temps will be an issue. probably need an extra fan(s) on them.

Anyone need an overpriced space heater?

hey, where can i get that sli bridge? i want one!

..and how many of those 1200watt power supplies do they have running?..lol All I can think about is Clark Griswold plugging in his lights and watching the whole city go dark...haha God I still love that movie.

During the winter should be a piece of cake to live with this assembly. It even heats your house.

Yesss! I was going to get a 4 grill propane range, but this is just soooo much better

but can it cook crysis ? ........

and plays your games at the same time! just dont burn your food while playing games

There is an issue with drivers. Read around the web and you'll see the reason why it's not up and running. I need some more Fermi Boxes to look at.....

Apparently you need a special case with fans directly blowing on the 480's to have an optimum sli setup according to Nvidia. Im guessing the case you need for this is going to be built to protect the user from the heat.

This puppy is an all-in-one solution; with temperatures like that it'll be able to cook your food, heat your home, and will suffice all your computer needs.

holy electric bill nvidiaman! thats a 1000 watts of power in video cards alone paired with a $2000 price tag. no thanks!

try rendering camp fires with it .... looks real , feels real .... must be real ....

Dang... that's like newegg's whole allotment!

I think the global temperature just went up a degree.

this has gone into "fetish" stage...

On the one hand it's like "OMFG I want that" and on the other it's "OMFG I'd have to steal power from my neighbor to run that". Yeah I think that would run up the old electric bill just a tad.

*Only available in Alaska.

Just thinking that they could wait until there were actually 4 480 boards on the market so the owners could bring them together to run on one system.

Of course why would you do this when you could just do 5970s in crossfire.

Why not work on a dual GPU single card first!

forget the LHC causing the world to end im more worried about this setup

I have a space heater thats top power output is less than the power output of 4 of these. And that things job is to actually provide heat.

the fear of being incinerated would be my guess as to why they didn't show us the benchmarks....it would like "ok the setup looks fine, lets boot the machine....click...."
