[X1337]

2Mb PCI video card. 256kbs x 8

Yeah, I like how the X1950 uses the Arctic Cooling concept of blowing the air out directly. It should be very quiet.

Oh and yes, the VF900-Cu's base is SO nice. It's literally a mirror.

well then do mirrors cool well? j/k The good part is that i will have a 120mm fan blowing at the pci cards and stuff so even if the heatsink blows warm air on the motherboard it shouldn't heat ^ 2 much since it will be circulated none the less

and yea that double post was because of an error

that old technology now, just get 2 x 7950 GX2's, faster and more mem.

 

[Trivium Nate]

Really? But I thought that Quald nSli waas ownage! What if you get 4 x 7950 GX2's?Will that be pwnage

4x 7950gx2s isn't possible i don't think. don't you need sli to run just one?

ya, im pretty sure the pci-e port couldnt handle 4 7950's worth of traffic.

Haha, one 7950 GX2 runs in SLI between the two cores. That's why you still need a SLI motherboard to run the card. Four 7950 GX2's are impossible, the chipset logic isn't designed for it. Becides, even if it was possible, it would be unpractical. You would be wasting money and power on something you don't need. Unless you're running multiple-monitors or a large 30"+ widescreen, you don't even need Quad SLI. Just forget it if you're planning Quad SLI on a normal 19" monitor. You might as well save the money for a normal SLI setup and a nice monitor instead.

Umm...yeah. One 7950 GX2 has TWO PCB's with it's own GPU core and memory. When you use Quad SLI, it's not putting FOUR 7950 GX2's, but using TWO 7950 GX2's and SLI'ing them so all four cores run with each other.
