    Only way to tell if Quad SLI is working: test a game/modern-3DMark at the highest res possible with the highest details possible vs. just the single 7950GX2. AM3 won't show jack....

    All highest settings. 1920x1200 resolution. Soft Shadows off.

    With Quad Enabled in Control Panel.


    This is what I got when I disabled SLI. LOL..


    This is w/ a single card in Slot1. Control Panel shows "Enable Multi GPU"


    I tried Slot1 and Slot4 and didn't get SLI or Multi GPU option on Control Panel.
    Weird.

    The cards are extremely close to each other. The top card in Slot 1 is pretty hot LOL.

    Errr .. just to confirm here ... image one is "quad SLI ON", image two is "sli off", so only a single GPU working, and image three is "[single] SLI on" - one card removed? Image one and three are very similar - so Quad-SLI isn't actually functioning correctly? Can you do the same thing with the old hacked drivers? (just for comparison's sake)

    1 - Quad SLI on
    2 - Just disabled SLI in Control Panel. I think this caused it to run 1 GPU on the first card only.
    3 - Removed 2nd card and w/ Multi GPU on.

    So it appears that this is just a bug with the wording in nvidia's drivers, and doesn't actually do anything? Just wanna make it clear here
