ASUS Tests 4-Way SLI Multi-GPU Solution

Sources close to ASUSTeK Computer have reportedly demonstrated select Asian journalist a capability to enable 4-way multi-GPU system based on two of ASUS’ dual-GeForce 7800 GT graphics cards. The 4-Way graphics solution consisted of two ASUS EN7800 GT Dual graphics cards each equipped with a pair of NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT graphics chips and 512MB (256MB per GPU) of GDDR3 memory as well as ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe Revision 2.0 mainboard powered by NVIDIA nForce4 SLI 16x core-logic.

While the cost of 4-way multi-GPU solution is unlikely to be lower than $1800 – $2000 or more only for graphics cards, provided that the drivers work fine, end users who agree to pay that amount of money are likely to get unbelievable performance. Even ATI Technologies, who first doubted about the success of multi-GPU technologies on the desktop market, recently said that 4-way multi-GPU was possible on the consumer market.
