I understand 4 discrete cards will not work with quad SLI, as outlined in the linked Guru3D article; however, I'm hoping two dual-GPUs may be a different story.

Also...I understand quad SLI can be overkill, but this is XS. Need I say more?

Thoughts?
Just chuck in 3 x GTX580's; I'm gaming at 100FPS in BFBC2 maxed settings at 8100 x 1440 (3 x Dell u2711's). All games I play have fantastic frame rates with these cards, at that resolution. I'd stay away from Quad SLI, based on my previous experience with two GTX 295's - just doesn't scale much more than the 3-way, plus I had bugs with various games.

With a moderately overclocked CPU and 580's you can expect a 14000+ 3d mark 11 score: http://3dmark.com/3dm11/392667

Only grab two or three of these cards if you're gaming in surround, otherwise it would be complete overkill.
