Geeks get Quad SLI to work on a 965 Conroe board

ABASS FROM Tbreak - or someome from his gang - managed to run Quad SLI with two 7950 cards on an Intel 965 board with a Conroe CPU.

Not that Nvidia wants people to test Quad SLI but it is more important to see that SLI contept might run on Intel's board after all. Nvidia is under a lot of pressure to enable its marchitecture on the Intel platform and I don't think it has much choice.

The TBreak chap took a Gigabyte 965P motherboard, stuck in a Conroe E6600 that works at 2.4GHz and managed to make two 7950 GX2 cards work together.

It's not just a SLI, it's SLI x SLI, as each card has two chips. And it works but its still unclear whether Intel and Nvidia will come to an agreement that officially allows Conroe chipsets to run SLI.

Take a look at the shots and the little experiment, it is all here.
