Video Card Madness

undefinedundefinedundefined I am making meself a dream machince with pci express, vapor phase and other top end technologies. I have found a Tumwater motherboard, but I have found no sli compatible graphics cards :confused: I looked on about every single site with no luck. Do any of you know where to get one :rolleyes: ????

i dont know if SLi is availible to the public yet and it was just in some proprietary system i think

Not available to mainstream yet. PCI-E just made its debut...SLI has yet to shows itself on the mainstream market.

thanks guys. I looked everywhere Nvidia says that Sli compatible cards are out now :confused:

There isn't a chipset to date that supports more than 24 PCI-Express lanes (effectively creating 1x16 and 1x8 PCI-E). This includes Intel's 925XE chipset. You might have to wait a while.

Check server boards I have found one. Bwha ha ha!!

Wow, which one? Might be good to post here for future wannabes.
Alienware is bringing one out too.

Heres one: http://www.dealtime.com/xPF-SuperMicro_EATX_MBD_E7525_800MHZ_DP_SATA_2XGETH_PCIE_BULK_EATX_MBD_E7525_800MHZ_DP_SATA_2XGETH_PCIE_ BULK

fedz I believe that Alienwares will use pass through cables and stuff, at least the Alienware dual card system, and special drivers, without the need to use nVidia's SLi solution, although I don't know the exact details.

[umlord]

You are correct about the mother board. Also check out Nforce 4's they are capable too. Now all we need is a PCI express Ultra :rolleyes: nvidias SLI will be faster than Alienwares just because it's a custom interconnect

[fedz]

lol 16GB of RAM on that mobo + dual xeons *sigh*
not to forget our prrreecious 6800 ultra's!!!
What a beast that would be.

It would be a beast. I made it on the top of the line parts board thread. Check it out.
