A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
yes but can it play doom.
negative. thats the single drawback of triple-SLI. it can't play doom.
just doom though.
No. It'd be silly for a 1000$+ video card setup to play a four year old game.
Pure silly.
ROFL, try 14 years old.
Holy mother *********************&#%$^@(*&#$ expelative.
This thing is a work of pure beauty.
And just to let the original poster know, this thing would run 100 copies of doom at the same time....and crisis....while encoding video.....and checking email.
no you can't because you really don't know how to play doom with your ass, kid :D
I haven't been keeping up with Video Cards since GEFORCE 3.
I'll just assume that when you've got cables thicker than heavy duty extension cords - you can play Crysis.
The "cables" are coolant tubes, not giant data cables.
Wait, that makes it sound even more ridiculous.
Seriously?
are you re-tarded kid?
Your comment is not funny. The main reason this joke WAS funny, was the fact that its original. (not anymore). So I beg of you not to kill other comments like that.
BTW, I feel dumber already..
Not only will it play it, but it will make you better at the game too!
I'd love to see what your monthly energy bill is running this rig, lol.
why lord? why? why must we buy 2 or three?
it can play doom and castle wolfenstein. At once...while dialing out on the internet to AOL. Its the new hotness.
my 8800gtx is still going strong, and i find sli to be a waste of time, money, resources and power!
Not to mention coolant.
not to mention the fact current pc architechture "can not" read "can not" use the cards in tandem properly... best wait for PCIE 2.0 componants than throwing money away on SLI or CrossFire. Duel GPU cards do work better if you cant wait. Cant remember if this card is a X2 GPU on 1 die though o.O
will these work in my apple IIc?
OSX hardware support is terrible. I recommend Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Ubuntu Linux.
Open the blob!
your logic confuses me
what does OSX's hardware support have to do with NineT9's Apple IIc
It would if Apple would have seen the writing on the wall and included three PCI-e x16 slots back in 1984. Though, you can emulate a few hundred Apple IIc's on one GeForce 9800 :D CUDA kicks ass.
not on a IIc.... maby a IIvx tho
Still waiting for the 10 series. Don't want to have to buy 3 cards to get Crysis to run maxed at only almost 30 FPS.

Boooo!
god! i'm so reckless with my mouse hand, as i clicked that link i thought "why!!!!!!" i deserve the punishment.
oh snap.
"Never gonna let you down."
Oh but YOU just did.....
Thank you for your very original contribution.
Seriously, I think this "joke" has run its course; don't you?
ooh someone got rick roll'd a few too many
Be forewarned, but I thought this was fitting:

I like that song, so I clicked the link with full expectation of the consequences.
This might be useful if you wish to play Crysis with a 100inch screen, but I'm not so sure about anything else.
Well at least there is room for other expansion cards after you install 3 of those beasts...oh wait...
Hope you like onboard ethernet and audio, cuz when one of those fries, your gonna need a new mobo
hmm is it just me? or do the benchmarks seem relatively on par with quad sli?
Um, this is actually 6-way SLI in reality, since there are three of the already SLI'ed GX2's.
Oops, I misread the title. I thought it said GX2, not GTX, so my bad. Forget what I said.
Why liquid cooling if none of the precious fluid touches any of the 3 cards? Just sayin...
You are mistaken. Those pipes actually contain the chemicals that turn regular teenage turtles into teenage mutant ninja turtles.
hahaha @ tony
YES!! now I can play pong at 320x240!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Not only Pong, but you can also play Asteroids too!
GALAGA
Joust!
and PAC-MAN!!!
dig dug!
CD-MAN >>> Pacman
Most importantly.... Will it blend?
I hate you
