Incorrect, Quad SLI = 2 Dual GPU cards and 4-Way SLI = 4 Single GPU Cards so that is not the same physically

Updated mine to a X79 MB. Quad SLI = 2x dual GPU cards
Pretend that the 3rd card is not their.

Did you use "pieces" of another Case to add to the top n bottom of that Case ? That is a great idea....would be good to have something in the pic to get some reference and just how tall it is ;)

The definition of quad is 4. 4 way sli has the same performance(assuming identical clocks, cores, memory speed etc) in reality as quad sli(4 gpu's/2 cards) be it on 2 physical cards or 4. In essense its the same no matter how you spin it. Dual gpu cards only benefit IMO is space savings and for those with limited PCI Xpress slots.

It looks like Cooler Masters HAF stackable case setup to me.

Your opinion, still not a fact, now I don't know why NV made such a mess of it all, but the fact remains that Quad SLI = 2x Dual GPU VGA cards 4-Way SLI = 4x Single GPU VGA cards 
Your opinion would make more sense, but it remains an opinion and not a fact, that is the difference bud. Sorry about back there as a VGA card collector, driver beta tester & enthusiast since 1997 I know what I am talking about, also I am x-3dfx, you may want to read my 3dfx background, just to give you an idea and also prove you that I am not some newbie in this subject.

Sorry but you will have to agree that I disagree with you, repeating your opinion won't change that over the fact I have posted.

What I state is "opinion" and not fact? Then please tell me what opinions I stated can be disproven as facts. Is it the word "quad" and its meaning? Is it the performance of 2 "dual" gpu cards being basically identical than 4 cards in 4 way sli using the same GPU? Is it the "opinion" that dual gpu cards main benefits are for "space savings and those with limited PCI slots"? LOL!
 
   We both know my "opinions" are FACTS as well.
 
  And what has being a collector of old outdated 3dfx cards from over a decade ago actually PROVE or have anything to do with anything posted here?

I would have a quad-sli set-up if I didn't sell my GTX 690 for a Titan. I kept running out of vram on my 2560x1600 display and some games would stutter badly. 
 
I'm hoping for nVidia to release a GTX 890(Maxwell). Hopefully they'll allow companies such as EVGA to add more vram(so if a 4GB x2 890 is introduced, companies can make a 8GB x2 model {EVGA 890 classified? }). 
 
Nice set-ups though. I have a GTX 295 sitting here, maybe if a good deal comes through I'll quad-sli it for fun. I really want a Red Edition 295.

Correct one Base + 1 HAF Stacker and 2 HAF Stacker 915R with Base that is 3 HAF Stacker 915R and the Base.

Sorry to see you leave the Dual GPU Quad SLI Systems Group.
I will be on the way as well removing two 690 cards and putting in two 980 HC Graphics Cards.

Hey nice build there silentdeath4956, but yer a shame to see you depart for them Dual GPU Quad SLI group, thanks for posting here tho
 
Well I still have my EVGA GeForce GTX 295 Red Editions and I might use them during Christmas for some fun runs
For the memories:

 
In 2015 I do plan to go Quad SLI again but with a pair of EVGA GeForce GTX 990 Super Clocked Signature Editions, if these will ever be made Hopefully they will!
Anyhow at the moment I am saving up to fund such a crazy idea, my passion and  LUV for Quad SLI has not faded as of yet
My Dual Six-Core AMD OpteronDP 2435 D0 will be system used for this, there are plenty games & Simulations that have good SMP support these days so 12 Cores  @ 2.6Ghz will do very well
And on the CUDA side its always nice to have 4 GPGPU's again too

Re:Post Your Quad SLI Systems Everyone! 2017/01/11 14:50:37 (permalink)
Here an archive I have saved of the best drivers for 9800 GX2 & GTX 295 Quad SLI setups:
 
Forceware 197.45 WHQL
http://www.nvidia.com/object/win7_winvista_64bit_197.45_whql.html
 
Forceware 285.62 WHQL
http://www.nvidia.com/object/win7-winvista-64bit-285.62-whql-driver.html
 
Forceware 306.97 WHQL This adds FXAA support for GTX 295, very handy and very stable.
http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/49949/en-us
 
Forceware 331.82 WHQL, Most Stable Latest Driver.
http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/70184/en-us
 
These four drivers were the best I ever used for my GTX 295 Quad SLI Setup, so since you have one GTX 295 I am pretty sure you will soar on these drivers, 331.82 WHQL is the best if you seek stable FXAA  Support, if that is note important 197.45 WHQL is the best GTX 295 "Core Driver" ever.
 
If any of you need help, feel free to ask
