around here:

It seems a configuration of two EN6600GT Dual will require a special daughterboard like TYAN Thunder K8WEX to provide each fully-fledged PCI Express slot with 16 PCI-E channels, otherwise the #9 to #16 PCI-E channels of the 4th GPU won´t be connected (in 16 + 4 PCI-E channels mode).

So, the motherboard should be able to switch 8 + 8 PCI-E channels (or 16 + 4 PCI-E channels) as channels #1 to #4 for 1-1/2-1 GPUs, channels #8 to #12 for 1-2/2-2 GPUs (or channels #1 to #8 for 1-1 GPU, channels #9 to #16 for 1-2 GPU + channels #1 and #2 for 2-1 GPU, channels #8 and #9 for 2-2 GPU). This can be done by DFI nForce 4 based series, for example. But, of course, if GeForce 6600GT supports multi-GPU modes, ASUSTeK is bound to release a new board to handle two EN6600GT Dual cards at once.

it got too technical for me. :blink:

Wow...thats like 4 GPUs...increadible.

:angry: ...who took out the picture.Tell then adieu


P.S. imagine a day of dual cored duel CPU's with QUAD GPU's.Not to mention memory for each CPU.AHHHHHHH the joys of computing.

What is "Tell then adieu"?

What is "Tell then adieu"?

What is in "ENGLISH" Goodbye.Adieu for the French speaking crowd is a old reference "to god",a = to,Dieu = God.Also being used by the Aristocratics to show higher status.Obiviously i dont believe in the idea of God,*note to stupid people read my user name*.Then again why cant we all use this lovely thing called INTERNET (www.google.com).For all young and old,and thanks for bringing this off topic.TELL THEN ADIEU

Wouldn't that be "Till then adieu"?

As in: Until then to god.

:angry: ...who took out the picture.
nobody took out your picture. a lot of websites will only send pictures to a computer that is actually looking at their site. so when you have digit-life.com open in one window and filesharingtalk.com open in another, it LOOKS like your picture works. as soon as you close the digit-life window and try looking at filesharingtalk again, the picture will be gone.

it's designed to prevent theft of bandwidth. :P

ANYWAY. good link. it only makes sense that they'd make a card like that, since SLI is basically achieved by multiple chips... not necessarily multiple CARDS. 3DFX's Voodoo 5 had the same deal: two 3D graphics chips running in SLI mode on the same card. they created Voodoo 5 prototypes which contained FOUR graphics chips, but those never went into mass production-- a few of 'em did leak out into the collector's market, though, when 3DFX went out of business.

That's what I thoguht it meant too. :blink:


anyway why don't you just put that into your sig? it would make more sence for it to be there...(since you type it every time).

well i guess some of the real hardcore gamers will have something extra to spend/waste money on..........

I know that but isn't it "till then adieu" instead of tell?

And yeah, why not do as rossco said. Add it to your signature,

Thanks again peat for understanding.Well im glad we all know how to use the internet here,or we would all be in shit.Anyhow now that this has gone about as off topic as it can be,what other thoughts do we have on the Dual GPU video cards.If only they were duel cored or multi cored as well.I do agree with 3RA1NAC,its better then SLI in way of using two GPUs.Yet duel GPU'd SLI,my god the world is coming an end.Sad its only 6600GT,let alone Nvidia.ATI card with the same config as that,longhorn will be interesting.Considering the graphics card you have will depend on the speed of windows itself.Who know how WGF will turn out.*note to self,ill try my end phrase once more*TELL THEN ADIEU

[backlash]

if you're gonna continue to use the phrase you should at least use the right word and punctuation. " 'TILL then, adieu "

[HailAntonLaVey]

Im glad we all found out how to use Google,now back to the GPUs.I doubt anyone would treuly reply yes,yet does anyone happen to have one of these beautiful cards,or had any encounters with them.Tell then adieu

I don't think he is hearing us, backlash. :no:

Foreigners piss me off.

[Virtualbody1234]

No, I don't have such a card.
