Purple Puppy Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Hmm... Consider this: http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/39056/135/ supports 6 graphics cards, which would mean the theoretical ability to power up to twelve 30" monitors (beats the Mac Pro) supports 24 GB of DDR3-1333 (6 slots of 4GB DDR3-1333 sticks) has 6 SATA ports (well, not that special). And most importantly, Intel Core i7 support. Mouthwatering.

The rest are obviously PCIe 1x slots... which last time I checked couldn't support modern cards.

The rest are obviously PCIe 1x slots... which last time I checked couldn't support modern cards. Apparently in the last paragraph they said that the board is "still being worked on" and that: The combined air/water-cooling block will be modified so that the six graphics cards can fit. All six SATA ports will be rotated to support extend-length PCIe cards. so... there's your answer.

ColdStart Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 - nvidia quadro nvs290 - Well at least decent cards. Not to mention, if I were going for multi-GPU action, I'd get a few 4870 XTs instead of some low end NVIDIA card that would be compatible.
