SLI single card

[rgraze911]

After reading the 7800gtx review it talked about enabling SLI to get better proformance. I thought SLI meant you had 2 cards in SLI mode? I'm kinda confused. How would you enable SLI with one card?

You dont... the reviewers were using 2 cards.

I believe that there's talk of at least some manufacturers having single card SLI solutions, basically just putting the circuitry for two cards on one PCB.

This hasn't made it to market yet, but there have been prototypes shown, I believe.

Yeah but then they will release the Sli Bridge for 2 Single Sli Cards running together. 4 cards in one system. Of course your graphics wont get much better and the frame rates will be absurd, so much so that the human eye wont notice a difference between the $1500 setup and the $500 but people will buy them.

The human eye won't notice a difference at 1800x1440 with 8xAA and 16xAF at 100FPS/sec between 1280x1024 with 4x and 8xAF at 40-60 frames/sec? right....
