3-Way SLI photo gallery
Posted on Nov 17, 07 07:04 PM PDT
It’s hardly a secret, but NVIDIA has not announced anything yet so if you need a solid proof that 3-way SLI is real, here it is. Take a closer look to see what the guts of a 3-way SLI system look like (photo gallery). The GeForce 8800 ultra cards are tightly packed, and the computer is using NVIDIA’s Enthusiast System Architecture (ESA), a protocol aimed at managing cooling in a smarter way.
If you need a power supply for this monster, you might want to look at the Thermaltake ToughPower 1500. Thermaltake has told us that only two existed, but you can expect to see them in quantities very soon.

Thanks Hubert, BTW is that ESA link correct?

Hi Malek,
1/previously, SLI allowed only 2 cards to be connected to combine their rendering power. 3 cards can be combined with this version.
2/Water is a more efficient cooling solution in general, but it also adds some complexity to the setup and a poor installation can have catastrophic consequences, obviously.

I donno the first thing 'bout gaming rigs, so..
1. How does the 3-way SLi differ from the previous SLi format?
2. Is water-cooling better than fans and those copper tubes for cooling?
