Triple SLI
Triple SLI
I sent my Asus board in for RMA. It should be back in a couple of weeks...ish. The board does triple sli and is a 775 socket. I presume I do not need much of a CPU to do this. I guess mu question is what are choices do I have in video cards that are budget minded that support triple SLI? I do not want 3 280s.
Re: Triple SLI
Do you have a power supply already?? I have 3 empty slots also but I do not have plans to fill them, I will go a 3rd i7 instead.

First off, a bottom-shelf CPU will not do well in a tri-sli system, you will want to have a capable CPU or you'll be bottlenecked by your processing power. As long as you don't have a low-end CPU you'll be good. As for cards, I'd just check which nvidia cards have the dual-bridge setups and then find an acceptable price point

Re: Triple SLI
Well...scrolling on web pages is just a tad slow when [email protected] is running...she would know.
Re: Triple SLI
Ah that's an easy one, reboot the router and modem, and when it doesn't work blame the isp. You really need to learn how to self inflict pc issues so you can upgrade when you need to.
Re: Triple SLI
LOL...in my household, I don't think my 8 year old would fall for that one. They are a little to smart for that. Anyway...I guess I'll just waite and see what Nvidias "big" announcement is on Monday. I'm thinking fermi is a no show for a while, at least in any quantities anyway. If I'm wrong...I'll grab one of those.
Re: Triple SLI
Off topic..but. I had an asus m2n-e. It is just a plain am2 board. Sent it in for rma with Asus. They say they can't fix it and they do not have any more of those boards. So they are sending me a triple sli board instead. now I have 2 tri sli boards sitting on a shelf...LOL
