I think were talking about 2 gpu on 1 card here because of ATI's design 2 gpu on 1 PCB works fine with a 2 card solution . Sapphire and ASUS can put to 2 cores on 1 pcb and it will work in Xfire mode . SLI won't work like that So ATI solution is much more elegent and its totally up to the partners as to whether or not they put 2 cores on 1 PCB. The point is if they do Xfire supports it.

IT is. Technically ASUS can put to gpu's on 1 pcb and build a 4 slot pci-e M/B using the R580 chipset and have dual quad Xfire. . Talk about over kill . I guess the point is ATI has the solution.Its up to the partners to produce it and not ATI . THAT is interesting.
 
I do recall reading somewhere about ATi selling(or having, or both) 32 GPU solutions using the 9700 Pro.

Some of Sun's video editing systems run between 16 and 32 FireGL and FireMV cards.
 
hmmm...will you be able to crossfire them in an nvidia mobo? probably not.

edit: quad sli has already been done by Nvidia and asus

most likely not until they unlock the drivers...

and jeesus that card is massive, and by massive i mean to the point of EXTREME, why not just keep two PCB's with dual GPU format? unless this is going into dell systems i don't see how you'd sell that damn thing

Actually I believe the cards will use like 2 X1600xt on them . Well just see what ASUS does with them. But its 4 gpu's working on 2 cards I like that. Others were just saying thats what they pteferred to 4 cards working in Quad sli . It has its merits.

Quad sli will not work with a 2 card solution
 
they may work together but you won't see any actual performance increase with the way they are splitting up performance, maybe if they added in a scissor(sp? bochted to hell) mode, but i believe it was proven that if more then 2 gpu's were working at once you wouldn't see any improvements with NV's solution

also, anyone notice that card is the size of the motherboard?

i don't see why this would be the case unless it's a driver limitation that can be pretty easily fixed.. ;)

That big card in the pic that Is Quad sli at work LOL . Seriously don't pay any attention to the card thats bigger than the M/B. It has nothing to do with the topic other than its Mult-GPU'S on one card.
 
again, drivers. they're not really made to deal with 4 gpu cores yet it seems

it could be drivers or a bridge limitation, we havent seen anything out of their drivers yet to support more then 2 gpus
