We already reported that AMD company is under working on crossFire technology to increase the number of video chip in one system , passing from two chips to three. Drivers with support of the so called triple crossFire will appear in the fourth quarter this year. According to some estimations, the use of three video card in one system will allow to increase graphic system level to 160% in comparison with single card.
NVIDIA Partners in the development program for multi-chip configurations began to define concretely the number of video chip in one system. Instead of the expected number 4 is mentioned the number 3. The term quad SLI do not figure at all .
In other words, NVIDIA plan to associate the resources of three video chips in one system. In this case the part of video chip can be occupied by physics acceleration, or they all can be occupied by specialized calculations. Possibly, in the realization Of quad SLI appeared objective technical obstacles, and NVIDIA decided to limit in Triple SLI. Let us note that this only an assumption.
Actually, to place three video card in one motherboard is much simpler than four. . Finally, to connect three video card class geForce 8800 GTX with the aid of SLI- bridges is possible without problems, since each card has two port. . Related Products :
