Evga delivers 4-way SLI for world record contenders.

Posted By: Steve McBarnes - 03:23:20 Mon, September 21, 2009

I was looking at the parser today hoping to find some HD 5870 or 5850 stuff when I came across the Evga GTX 285 Classified. I noticed that it had some interesting features like "Worlds First 4-Way SLI Card, X-Cool Switch for Extreme OC Mode, Supports EVGA's EVbot, Supports EVGA's EVbot, and Dedicated Voltage Read Points." So I dug a little deeper and I located a page that explained this wacky 4-way SLI business. On that page you can also watch a slideshowesque 'video' of the world record attempt and the 3DMark scores themselves.

If you enjoy spending lots of money in order to look at really big numbers, then this card and motherboard setup is for you.

Oh over here look at me I'm Nvidia the attention whore. No Boy Wonder this way... I want a sticker pimped version like ...the ZOTAC GTX 285 Batman Edition features unique artwork featuring Batman. With it is a coupon for a full copy of Batman: Arkham Asylum, redeemable online at NVIDIA's nZone. At least they didn't rename it to like the Bam-Pow-Poof

Consider this article before breaking into your piggy bank, cause sometimes all you'll get for your money is a slide show!

AIEEEEEEE!!!!!
What would be the power consumption for 4 of these beasts!!!! Too bad this is late done though... the 5800s are in an kicking out the competition for much cheaper, as well with the 300s coming in soon.
I say keep the wallet closed and a small tip of the hat to 4-way SLi, even though it will be barly used.
