NVIDIA’s nForce 780i triple SLI is out
Posted on Dec 19, 07 11:10 AM PDT
Back in November, we showed you the first photo of a 3-way SLI system to make you drool. Now you can buy the 780i and build your own triple-SLI system, right on-time to use the stack of new graphics-hungry video games that you might get for Christmas (COD4, Crysis…).
Such a motherboard/triple-GPU combo will cost around $2500 (780i + 3xGF8800 ultra). but nobody said that PC Gaming was cheap… [product home page]

aRok99, that might induce performance tradeoffs

But the 8800GT is PCIe 2.0 compliant, with PCIe 2.0 it possibly can eliminate the extra bridge needed for triple SLI. If so then you can potentially run Triple SLI without a Second SLI connection.

PJ, that's correct, only 8800 Ultra cards are currently compatible with 3-way SLI. Thanks for pointing this out.

FYI - you can not do 3x 8800GT cards in combination, only 2. 8800GT cards do not have a second SLI connection on the top of the card as the GTX and Ultra cards have so only two can be linked at a time.
