Why do 8800gtx's have to sli ports?

 

[Istonian]

Two or to? It may be for quad sli if you meant two.

 

[joxley1990]

Yeah, simply for quad sli, if you have the $$$$

 

[hascet]

wow! I didn't even know they made mobo's with 4 pci-e ports...

 

[Celegorm]

i don't think they do yet. its more of a future ready thing i belive.

however, if someone knows of one, a link would be awsome.

 

[ownage]

not for quad sli, its for an add in physics card.

theres only 2 pci-express slots in that...

2 x PCI-Express x16, 1 x PCI-PCI-Express x16(x8 bandwidth for x4, x8 and x16 devices)

2 x PCI-Express x16, 1 x PCI-PCI-Express x16(x8 bandwidth for x4, x8 and x16 devices)

2+1=3 just one of them is only 8x but compatible with 16x
