EVGA Experiments With 4-Way Fermi GTX 480 SLI

Oh, you bet it can!!

The GeForce GTX 480 is the fastest single-GPU solution available right now; but if that's not enough speed for you, then how about putting four of them together?

PC maker CyberPower posted on its Facebook page showing an EVGA setup with four GeForce GTX 480s in a very impressive 4-way SLI setup. According to Techpowerup, EVGA tested the cards on a X58 Classified 4-way SLI motherboard with a special SLI bridge that makes it all possible.

Sadly, no benchmark results yet, but with such a graphical monster on EVGA's hands, we don't imagine details to be secret for very long.

I'm thinking how I'd be sitting by the campfire with these things, One guy play Crysis while the rest of us Roast Marshmallows

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.

I'm pretty sure that isn't possible, as, as far as I know [lol at all those as's] quad sli is as high as sli goes.

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

Space heater? That could probably heat a small house alone!

..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.

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.
