Quad SLI

HEy, that sounds great. Within few days (week) there should be first nVidia GeForce 7950 GX2 card, which will allow you to make Quad SLI in your home pc. (If you are milionaire probably, they will be really expensive) Cards will contain 2 nVidia 7900 chips (500 mhz), with 512 mb memory for each of them (ya, really 1GB of graphic memory on card) memory would rum at 1,2 ghz. But there are some problems, first is price. Its supposed cards will cost around 800-900$. Also those who will buy can expect problems with drivers. And that isnt all, each card would consume 143 watts, so for quad sli you can expect 280-290 watts taken only by graphic cards. (Hm, that mean pc with fast processor, big memories, say 4 drives, dvd rw etc can eat about 600 watts + monitor can take 100 more. Need personal own power plant for that..)
