Gigabyte 8N-SLI Quad Royal Review

While not able to take advantage of the Quad SLI function of the 8N-SLI Quad Royal at this present time, nVidia may introduce Quad SLI support to the public in the future and this is the first retail board to support such a setup.

nVidia’s own statements show that Dell is currently the only manufacturer to get qualifications for this as a retail offering, but how long till these drivers leak to the market and are modded to work with any Quad SLI setup? This is something even we can’t answer, but Gigabyte is ready for that day already with the 8N-SLI Quad Royal. Even still, don’t forget if you’re using this motherboard for SLI, you’re using the latest nForce IE chipset from nVidia: this means, you’re using full speed SLI (2 x 16 times slots) and being assured of the maximum performance possible from your graphics cards.

if you want Quad SLI now, you will need to wait for a Dell desktop gaming system to hit your doorstep but for the future market Gigabyte is clearly thinking ahead and as always providing you with plenty of choice and flexibility in their product.
