I remember a thread from a few days ago where someone was complaining that they wouldn't get their 780's to run in quad-SLI and it turned out that the 780's aren't capable of quad-SLI. Well I was admiring my packaging when I realized on the front of both of my boxes it plainly says 4-way SLI. So then I checked online and all the pictures of the boxes I see online say 3-way SLI on the box. I just thought this was odd, are the ACX's capable of 4-way SLI or is this a misprint?

    Tri SLI is officially supported
    You know 4-Way will be supported later
     
    You can actually 4-Way the 780s unofficially ATM right now.

    RIG 1 - i7-4790K / Asus Z97 Gryphon / AMD Sapphire RX Vega 64 / 8GB*8GB G.Skill Trident X 2400Mhz CL10 / SeaSonic Prime Ultra 1000w Plat
    RIG 2 - Pentium G3258 / ASRock Z97 Extreme9 / AMD XFX RX580 GTS XXX x4 / 8GB*8GB Kingston HyperX Fury 1600Mhz CL10 / Corsair AX1200i

    Unfortunately all versions of the GTX 780s only support a max of 3-way SLI.

    Yeah, there was another thread commenting about this. Someone from EVGA said that the first shipments of cards were accidentally shipped in boxes saying 4-way SLI, however all shipments after that had their boxes corrected to the 3-way SLI that the cards are actually capable of. It's unlikely they'll officially support 4-way SLI as that just reduces the GTX Titan's already minimal reason for existence even further at this point. 4-way SLI and a high amount of VRAM are the only reasons to buy a GTX Titan over a GTX 780 now.

    Yes, we fixed it on new boxes. 4-Way SLI is NOT supported.
