No, 'cause when you get the quad sli you're not going to be GPU limited anymore and the big bottleneck will be the CPU.dizietsma said:

Quad SLI - Inevitable future or nVidia showboating
- Thread starter Quitch
- Start date

what the hell are you talking about?dizietsma said:
when you have 4 7800gtx's working together you will be incredibally CPU limited.. even with an FX-60 without huge amounts of FSAA on.. say 16X fsaa.
I recently got a taste of 16X aa at 1600x1200 with my 7800GT.. in LFS S2.
not a jaggie in sight..
But the texture filtering leaves much to be desired.

blah .. SLI is SOOO last month ... it's QUAD XFire now:

now only need those RD580s to show up with four 8x PCIe slots and a monitor that will do 2400 x 1800 @ 150Hz ;p WITH forcefeedback ;p;p

Actually you ( and digi ) are wrong, even some of todays games will not be cpu limited with 4 GTX in them and not even at 16xfsaa

future games will be even more gpu limited. Even if the graphics driver teams or the games developers offload work to the cpu then the Intel has 2 real cores and 2 hyperthreaded virtual cores, so it still might come out better than a simple dual core AMD.
