ha
nerds (drools all over mobo) my sig tells it all **update** DST4ME will NOT recommend the 285 Classifed to anyone apparently cause its a bad deal and he likes the 275 more anyway.  Its only 20 bucks more for a new cover, no hdtv-7 and something called EVbot. Edited by Roadkill331. - 01 Sep 2009 at 2:07am |

if you LC you can quad sli now with the current classified, but you will need a case with atleast 8 expansion slots if you want to use that mobo and quad sli 285/275 without sli.
and you are right roadkill, why quad sli 285 when you can do it with 275 and save a bunch of money.  Edited by DST4ME - 01 Sep 2009 at 2:54am |

I don't understand why they had to squish in 7 pcie slots, I mean quad sli will take up 4 slots and block the other 3, if you do attempt quad sli (which is the whole point of this board) then you'll have wasted 3 slots.

I can't wait to see 3DMark06 and Vantage scores with that mobo maxed out with oc'd 285 classifieds and a oc'd i7 975.

We are evaluating where to carry this technology. As of right now, we are working with NVIDIA and finding out the performance gains.

Sucks for DST, it won't fit in a HAF.
In fact, the only cases I know that will fit it are Lian-li (other than the thermaltake armor). |

Supposedly there is an actual hardware revision that allows 4-way sli, so this would not be possible on any other cards (yet, nvidia might support it in the future, but who knows).

I thought if you can quad SLI 295 you can quad SLI any card.

haven't seen a 4-connector sli bridge yet, which may be the only thing missing to make other cards do it.
