Joe The Dragon Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Does any one think that the new X86 power macs may have SLI? or cross fire? What about AMD Opterons? AMD is far ahead of Intel in mult cpu linking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drcreek Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 they'll never use AMD for years and years but SLi might be possible if they do make that rumored "Gaming machine" and they've have some nice sexy NVidia drivers!!! but with only about 10 games out there. i hope they do unreal 2007 for mac i'll be happy with that. oh and guild wars.

Ouch Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I would expect an sli option in the high end powermacs but for scientific 3D applications. AMD's are highly unlikely - intel will be giving apple a discount on each unit in return for exclusivity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macs are for the most part worthless when it comes to games, so I doubt an SLI setup is coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're only useless because there aren't enough games ported to them, that is the only reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjr1028 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 No, Apple will not. The gamer crowd is not their target audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe The Dragon Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 SLI is a hot thing right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
