Tushman Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 EVGA has developed the world's first 4-way SLI motherboard.linkI took a quick glance at the specs it is one helluva impressive motherboard. It is loaded with features and there's no doubt it is a power hungry motherboard. There's 7 PCI-e slots and noticeably larger than standard ATX motherboards. They're calling it XL-ATX.The manufacturer recommends a 1500 watt PSU for 4-way SLI configurations.I love hardware but this is quite excessive in my opinion.

V.T. Eric Layton Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 The gamers will love it. However, I don't think there are even many games out here that could perform up to the level of that hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Ouch!!! Over a thousand dollars for the MB, case and PSU before adding drives, RAM, CPU, HSF, and GPU/s. And, as Eric said, there are no current games capable of using the power of a fully built-out PC like this one.Just for kicks, I made a wishlist at NewEgg to build a PC based on the EVGA MB: My Wish List Details dream onQty.

Urmas Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 To be expected... the Finnish month names are rather descriptive... after "Mud Month" (October) comes "Dead Month" (November)... followed by – yikes! – "Yule Month". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
