Sneak Preview of NVIDIA Quad GPU SLI

Enter Asus with its brand new Extreme GeForce 7800 GT Dual. This monster of a graphics chip sports two 7800 GT chips running in parallel. We’d like to note a few things that are special about this card. First, only 2000 samples of this my-card-is-faster-than-your-card graphics board exist, worldwide. Second, the THG lab received two of them. Third, although the cards lack the usual SLI connectors, two of these monsters can nonetheless be combined via SLI. That means we can now achieve Quad SLI with four GeForce 7800 GT chips and a total of 1 GB of video memory.

I still have no real idea why they release cards like these, that are not available for the public to touch. Not only that, they don’t have perfect drivers for it yet, so what’s the point of benchmarks? At any rate though, it’s an interesting concept, but may be a little overboard.
