[First Look] NVIDIA 3-way SLI
To infinity, and beyond! (Azza was taken)
Just what I need for crysis :P
Silver Bullet VII
Corsair 750D | Corsair AX 850W | Core i7 2600K | Thermalright Venomous X | Asus Maximus IV Extreme B3
eVGA GTX680 SLI | Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB | Intel 530 240GB | 2 x WD RED 3TB in RAID 1 | LG BluRay | 3 x 2413WFP
nVidia tried Quad SLI, and it failed horrible. Now AMD and NVidia gonna try the tripple. That I bet my rear end will fail aswell. There can only be so much space between the lowend and highend.
Crunching for Comrades and the Common good of the People.
you can't blaime nvidia for teh failure...wer were the boards to support it fully?Originally Posted by Shintai
There really isn't much need for a triple setup yet. The gains are just too little for the cost. I'd say that this will be for those people with lots of money to spend, who either don't know how little they'll gain or don't care. I can see people getting a tripple setup just because they don't know better.

Stop wasting R&D money on such oddities... we want new high-end GPU now!

Test bench: empty
The lack of driver support of any kind is what mostly killed it
Unfortunately, both CF and SLI are very primitive in how they're implemented, in that essentially you need specific profiles just to run those games properly and if no profiles are around, it can actually hurt performance
yeah ofcourse, but wich mainboard from high end manufacters could actually feed 4 of those wattagewhores
On what board is he testing the picture says P355??????
And a noob in the first picture has put the 3way sli bridge wrong.
And why didn't they tested also a 2 card setup so you can see the improvements from 2 to 3 cards.

To be a professional noob/idiot
* Default factory speed is for noobs.
* Everything must go above the speed that the factory consider safe.
* Everything for more performance
* Everything fits, and everything can be broken.
* Most problems can be fixed by adding a volt or two.
* Post things in your signature that makes no sense at all.
Board with 4 x 16xPCIE, and they have put it in closest one.
SLi bridge is made for slots 1, 2, 4 or 1, 3, 4. (well i think so :P)
P335 is the PCB board of 8800 ultra and gtx
Teh Crysis doesn't support SLI...yet.
wow! What a surprise...its CPU-bottlenecked to hell and back!
I want to see it ran with some CPU horsepower please!
I'd also like to see the table clearly!

Sometimes, it's not your time. Sometimes, you have to make it your time. Sometimes, it can ONLY be your time.
is it me or are those 3dmark scores juse not as impressive as it should be for 3 cards?
>=2.0 scaling for all 2560x1600 tests, looks good to me. Excessive, but it works pretty well when it matters.
Would also like to see scaling vs. 2-way SLI and scaling with a stronger/OC'd CPU. But there's time of course.
3/4-Way CF and SLI is utterly useless for majority of the population who uses < 24" LCDs.
BUT for those who use the 24"s and 30"s, it's worth it. If you look at default 3DM06 score, it's far from impressive, but high resolution like 1920x1200 or 2560x1600, it definitely looks good. Now add on AA and AF, 3/4-way seems to make sense. I mean, if you're going to blow $1500-2000 on a 30" panel, what's another $1200 on GPUs when your desktop is probably over $3k in price.
Does anyone NEED to game at those resolutions? Not really, but for those who WANT to game at those resolutions, now they can.
