Well here we are again finding ourselves locked in the iBuyPower bunker with more graphics cards than we can poke a stick at. Alongside three GeForce 9800 GTX graphics cards we also have two GeForce 9800 GX2's all ready to go into the funky water cooled system that we've been provided with today. With Tri SLI drivers in hand, more benchmarks than we had last time, we're ready to get stuck into the wonderful world of expensive video setups which is overkill for most of us, but still wanted oh so badly. It has not been so long ago that we looked at the first 3-Way SLI config which was all about the G80 based GeForce 8800 GTX and Ultra, now we moved on to the G92 way of doing triple action. - TweakTown

NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX 512MB 3-Way SLI Preview

It's clear that NVIDIA has really got its dual-GPU SLI technology sorted out, but when you start mixing it up with three or four GPU's the performance increase while present, is very small, especially in relation to what it costs you to go down that route. The GeForce 9800 GX2 continues to be a good offering for people who want to jump on the speedy SLI bandwagon though without getting themselves a SLI motherboard. However, if you're looking at building a new system it might be worth checking out an nForce 780i motherboard and a pair of GeForce 9800 GTX cards which really gets things pumping.

NVIDIA has been seen to put a lot of effort into the SLI driver as of late, but it seems that most of the energy has gone into getting two cards to run extremely well together as opposed to three or four. And SLI is becoming a hot topic again, and we will have an nForce 780i board up and running in our labs so we can investigate it more and more as time goes on. Before we sign out though, we have to thank the boys at iBuyPower again for putting up with us.
