    wow, this means we will be able to run quadsli with 4 gtx285 cards! (even without nf200 on the board for the underground tweakers who read this )
    and tri sli with a gtx295 and gtx285! awesome!

    could it be that nvidia did this cause they need some pr and attention?

    Imo Nvidia realised how terrible dumb they were to on let a card with the same GPU... erm sorry with the right "sticker" to be able to do SLI.

    GTX260/275/280/285/295 all is based on the same chip with different binning(?) so SLI should be possible.

    Atleast that's what I love about AMD, the sticker doesn't matter it's the GPU under the hood.

    You do know if you Crossfire a 4870 with 4850, you would actually get worse performance than dual 4850's? While it might seem like a nice idea, but the faster card is always slowed down by the slower card, so it makes no sense to do this, and i dont see anyone doing it because of this.

    As interesting as this could be anything beyond dual gpu is way limited on 775. Tri and Quad see huge performance increases on I7. Regardless it would be pretty awesome to have a pair of 260s or 275s on a 775 intel chipset board. I'd much sooner be running 2 GTX260 216s than my 4870x2 (for a list of reasons longer than Saaya's post count )

    And Tin, that is the funniest thing I've read here in some time. I might even have to sig that first part :P
