Essentially, that’s what Asus has done with there prototype Extreme
GeForce 7800 GT Dual chip card and compatible mother board.
Although it’s not supported by NVIDIA.

Why do you gus still push the resolution up so high? Most advid
gamers are switching to LCD, which most have only 1280x1024 limit,
others worth while are only 1600x1200.
So, anything higher is a waste. Right?

THG has a really good article on an unbelievable quad SLI setup.
Asus with its brand new Extreme GeForce 7800 GT Dual chip sports two
7800 GT chips running in parallel. This achieve Quad SLI with four
GeForce 7800 GT chips and a total of 1 GB of video memory.
Remarkable looking cards but there are only 2000 models sent only to
reviewers. It uses external power supply bricks so Power supply
won’t have to be rated at 1000. Here are some impressive scores.
FEAR running at 1280 x 960 at 4xAA and 8xAF at max settings got 92
FPS in quad (4 GPU’s), 52 FPS in regular SLI, and 29 FPS in single.
I don’t know anymore info on this setup and THG was not very through
on the review. If this hit mass productions, hopefully, this will
drive down the prices of enthusiast cards.

I'd be interested. FSAA is important for me and I'd like to see how
both setups work out.

There are definately some more bugs to work out, and several thigns
that must be looked into, such as the annoying dongle... but this
second-gen CF solution is quite good. The hardware has the potetial,
if only the setup could take more advantage of the cards... Bottom
line, wait for CF round 3 early next year.
January = R580 (may be called X1850 series) GPU's, RD580
motherboards which enable true X16 GPU performance and then the full
availability of the X1800 CrossFires, for it looks as if ATI remains
King of the paper-launch.
Interesting note: X1600 and X1300 series cards require NO
INTERCONNECTS for multi-GPU, the first true and simple Multi-GPU
solution. ...Though those cards' performance makes that solution
less attractive...
