Guru3d has some pictures from EVGA running a setup of four, count them, four GeForce GTX 480 graphics cards running in quad-SLI. Can you imagine the power supply that would be needed to drive that thing? Let’s see here. Four GeForce GTX 480’s at 250 Watts apiece equals one kilowatt of power. And that does not include the rest of the system. While they can and do make power supplies up to 1400 Watts, I imagine that they actually used two different power supplies. That is just sketched out using a back-of-the-napkin approach. Click through the link below to see another image of the setup.
As you can see the setup is up and running, but no benchmarks are shared just yet. It certainly will be very interesting to see how well the scores scale. The motherboard used was a eVGA 4-Way SLI classified motherboard. Anyway have a look at some photo’s.
