4-way isn't possible with GTX 770. GTX 770 is limited to 3-way SLI. If you want to do 4-way SLI you will have to upgrade to some GTX 780 Ti's.

The GTX 770 is a rebranded GTX 680, but the 770 isn't allowed to do 4-way SLI like the 680 anymore. Why? NVIDIA updated their graphics driver to not allow it. Why? Because NVIDIA wants to make more money off users who want to do 4-way SLI. The GTX 770 box clearly shows the card is limited to 3-way SLI:

Because...money. I had the same problem with GTX470's back a few years ago. Only 1 beta driver allowed 4-way GTX470.

The drivers have been updated... As in updated recently. This article is not new at all, and they may have used an older driver to accomplish this, meaning the drivers weren't the best available.

You would have to use outdated drivers, and probably get much worse performance than 3 way SLI, as well as the performance hit in game. What is the benefit of sacrificing everything for another card?

Sajin Looks like someone was able to do 4-way SLI with GTX 780's using 340.43. http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/8499894 A new mod must be out. So 4-way 770 should be possible too.
Impressive overclock on the memory and cpu, lol. I have never been able to make progress running at 0 mhz. If nothing else, purchase the 4th 770 and if it doesn't work, so be it, it was just money spent as a backup. If it does, then awesome, but the performance doesn't increase from what most benchmarks show.

so with the latest drivers 780 4 way us supported which was not possible before . so if thats the case then 770 would be supported as well .

We have 3 threads going over one 3dmark, unverified, unregistered, unproven run...
OOOHHHH WAIT... That was done July 18th.. Check the date before posting.... When did the new driver come out. May as well stop this rumor now... This is actually getting annoying following three threads.

No, not a hoax... A hack would be more appropriate. They verified one thing worked, which would be 4 way SLI. Of course, nothing else can be verified now. Best option, as I mentioned earlier, is to buy a 4th card... If it works, hooray you... If not, it's an awesome paperweight until you need it as a back up. Either way, don't get your hopes up.

Sajin Another guy using 335.23 approved driver. http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/8648673 August 25 2014.
That one makes me curious if the driver is working or if there is a "Fix" for the 3 way/4 way.
