Works well in DirectX 10


Nvidia will launch Quad-SLI powered by two 9800 GX2 cards tomorrow. This will be the fastest thing for gaming so far, and if you do the math it will cost you more than €1100 for the two graphics cards plus the cost of the motherboard.

Unfortunately, this only works on Nvidia motherboards, but there is an indication that it might work on Skulltrail, as well.

Currently, the Nforce 680i and 780i are the only two boards to support these cards, at least on the Intel side, but you will need two 9800 GX2 to play at the ultra high 2,560x1,600 resolution with a lot of effects on.

We learned that DirectX 10 should also scale well on four GPUs, but we will see that tomorrow.
