Loading ...On the possibility of 3-way SLI
Alex Watson
Transcript of an MSN Messenger conversation with a friend, also a PC hardware and gaming enthusiast, when I told him that I’m off to an Nvidia press event next week at which Nvidia may, or may not, introduce 3-way SLI.
Alex CPC: 3 way SLI?
The Unstoppable Ninja Of Doom: Can you do me a favour when you’re out there? Can you find who is responsible for 3-way SLI and hit them?
The Unstoppable Ninja Of Doom: Physically strike the man in the face.
The Unstoppable Ninja Of Doom: They deserve it. Take a picture of a motherboard inside a case, mine for instance, then ask him how he expects to fit three dual slot cards on that board, while leaving room for sound and other components. Then hit him again. Then ask him why SLI is still complete toss and ask why he felt he needed to add a third card and not fix the existing system.
Alex CPC: Sounds like quite a beating you’re asking me to dish out.
The Unstoppable Ninja Of Doom: Then point out that their single cards aren’t actually perfect either and slap him. You might want to take Vinnie Jones with you. In fact screw the reporting, don’t bother going, just pay Vinnie Jones to go instead and have him kick the crap out of the bloke behind triple SLI and menace the rest.
LOL, he has a good point to be fair! A bit of the Jurrasic Park effect.. to busy working out if they could, and not enough time thinking about wether they should!
It’s a shame really, because the “over the top” gamer will probably buy this, and put 3 8800’s into SLI and get another couple of Frames out of Unreal (although personally, I won’t be one of them=D)
