AnandTech's Article
On a certain type of DFI Lanparty motherboards with the nForce4 Ultra chipset, it's possible to modify the board (easily, i might add) to make it essentially an SLI board, and for much cheaper too. It makes for near-SLI performance for a fraction of the price. Great for budget powergamers who want SLI but don't have the money for it. |

There are video cards that have two chips on one board. So it's like SLI.

QUOTE(kryogenix @ Jan 20 2005, 5:08 PM) There are video cards that have two chips on one board. So it's like SLI.  ah, that's the gigabyte 3D1. it's nice, but getting a regular 6800GT has the same performance, with upgradeable headroom (you can add ANOTHER 6800GT later on in the future while you can't with the 3D1). |

I read that article, supposed to get about 90% the performance of true SLi or something. There was also something in their article on the consumer electronics show or expo or whatever it's called where there was a mobo that could support two different cards in tandum. Now that's pretty cool.
