3-Way SLI!?!

The moon has not turned red, but this has got to be a joke!  They are only supporting the 8800 series with this so far, but still...

Now with support for three cards, you can crank up the image quality settings, maximize your resolution, and tilt the scales in your favor with up to a 2.8X performance hike over a single-card rig.

Book: Very specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzy around the area of kneecaps.

Sounds nice, now just gotta imagine the cost of putting 3 $500 vid cards and upgrading everything else for all that power. Wonder how much of a power drain it will be on the power supply.

The power is not the problem It's the 56c to 80c that the cards run at. You could say this is a real Hot system. :hot:

Just the picture shows 3 vented cards that have their own fans and look like they need to be ported to the outside.
