yes but can it play doom.
OziD @ Mar 30th 2008 6:30PM
negative. thats the single drawback of triple-SLI. it can't play doom.
just doom though.
z3r0D @ Mar 30th 2008 6:39PM
No. It'd be silly for a 1000$+ video card setup to play a four year old game.
Pure silly.
Backlin @ Mar 30th 2008 6:43PM
ROFL, try 14 years old.
Mike10010100 @ Mar 30th 2008 7:13PM
Holy mother *********************&#%$^@(*&#$ expelative.
This thing is a work of pure beauty.
And just to let the original poster know, this thing would run 100 copies of doom at the same time....and crisis....while encoding video.....and checking email.
Mist @ Mar 30th 2008 7:27PM
no you can't because you really don't know how to play doom with your ass, kid :D
Flashpoint @ Mar 30th 2008 7:44PM
I haven't been keeping up with Video Cards since GEFORCE 3.
I'll just assume that when you've got cables thicker than heavy duty extension cords - you can play Crysis.
balderdash @ Mar 30th 2008 8:21PM
The "cables" are coolant tubes, not giant data cables.
Wait, that makes it sound even more ridiculous.
erhan @ Mar 30th 2008 9:54PM
Seriously?
are you re-tarded kid?
Your comment is not funny. The main reason this joke WAS funny, was the fact that its original. (not anymore). So I beg of you not to kill other comments like that.
BTW, I feel dumber already..
MikeG @ Mar 30th 2008 11:50PM
Not only will it play it, but it will make you better at the game too!
Dave @ Mar 30th 2008 11:57PM
I'd love to see what your monthly energy bill is running this rig, lol.
OneLove @ Mar 31st 2008 2:32PM
why lord? why? why must we buy 2 or three?
Gorillamonk @ Mar 31st 2008 3:04PM
it can play doom and castle wolfenstein. At once...while dialing out on the internet to AOL. Its the new hotness.
mopo @ Mar 30th 2008 6:23PM
my 8800gtx is still going strong, and i find sli to be a waste of time, money, resources and power!
E71 @ Mar 31st 2008 3:28AM
Not to mention coolant.
Canney @ Mar 31st 2008 11:10PM
not to mention the fact current pc architechture "can not" read "can not" use the cards in tandem properly... best wait for PCIE 2.0 componants than throwing money away on SLI or CrossFire. Duel GPU cards do work better if you cant wait. Cant remember if this card is a X2 GPU on 1 die though o.O
NineT9 @ Mar 30th 2008 6:27PM
will these work in my apple IIc?
ethana2 @ Mar 30th 2008 9:47PM
OSX hardware support is terrible. I recommend Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Ubuntu Linux.
Open the blob!
nate @ Mar 30th 2008 10:57PM
your logic confuses me
what does OSX's hardware support have to do with NineT9's Apple IIc
GrizzlyAdams @ Mar 31st 2008 2:23AM
It would if Apple would have seen the writing on the wall and included three PCI-e x16 slots back in 1984. Though, you can emulate a few hundred Apple IIc's on one GeForce 9800 :D CUDA kicks ass.
kyle allen @ Mar 31st 2008 3:15AM
not on a IIc.... maby a IIvx tho
Dylan K @ Mar 30th 2008 6:32PM
Still waiting for the 10 series. Don't want to have to buy 3 cards to get Crysis to run maxed at only almost 30 FPS.
Fernando G @ Mar 30th 2008 6:37PM
9800 gtx in action

Backlin @ Mar 30th 2008 7:02PM
Boooo!
Rob Conway @ Mar 30th 2008 7:14PM
god! i'm so reckless with my mouse hand, as i clicked that link i thought "why!!!!!!" i deserve the punishment.
hp540 @ Mar 30th 2008 7:53PM
oh snap.
Vesh @ Mar 30th 2008 7:55PM
"Never gonna let you down."
Oh but YOU just did.....
aardvark sandwich @ Mar 30th 2008 10:23PM
Thank you for your very original contribution.
Seriously, I think this "joke" has run its course; don't you?
Indeed @ Mar 30th 2008 11:27PM
ooh someone got rick roll'd a few too many
Vesh @ Mar 31st 2008 12:06AM
Be forewarned, but I thought this was fitting:

Ted @ Mar 31st 2008 11:15AM
I like that song, so I clicked the link with full expectation of the consequences.
Do I look indie yet @ Mar 30th 2008 6:50PM
This might be useful if you wish to play Crysis with a 100inch screen, but I'm not so sure about anything else.
Maestro @ Mar 30th 2008 6:50PM
Well at least there is room for other expansion cards after you install 3 of those beasts...oh wait...
Bobs @ Mar 30th 2008 7:58PM
Hope you like onboard ethernet and audio, cuz when one of those fries, your gonna need a new mobo
cydonia @ Mar 30th 2008 6:51PM
hmm is it just me? or do the benchmarks seem relatively on par with quad sli?
Peter @ Mar 30th 2008 8:00PM
Um, this is actually 6-way SLI in reality, since there are three of the already SLI'ed GX2's.
Peter @ Mar 30th 2008 8:02PM
Oops, I misread the title. I thought it said GX2, not GTX, so my bad. Forget what I said.
Frankenstein Black @ Mar 30th 2008 6:53PM
Why liquid cooling if none of the precious fluid touches any of the 3 cards? Just sayin...
Tony @ Mar 30th 2008 7:18PM
You are mistaken. Those pipes actually contain the chemicals that turn regular teenage turtles into teenage mutant ninja turtles.
DiscoCat5 @ Mar 31st 2008 1:45AM
hahaha @ tony
james @ Mar 30th 2008 6:56PM
YES!! now I can play pong at 320x240!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Alexander @ Mar 30th 2008 7:11PM
Not only Pong, but you can also play Asteroids too!
p3nis @ Mar 30th 2008 7:36PM
GALAGA
bjrcboy @ Mar 30th 2008 9:00PM
Joust!
james @ Mar 31st 2008 1:01AM

Mark @ Mar 31st 2008 4:41AM
dig dug!
Kurian @ Mar 31st 2008 5:27AM
CD-MAN >>> Pacman
Bobby @ Mar 30th 2008 7:03PM
Most importantly.... Will it blend?
Denver_80203 @ Mar 30th 2008 9:20PM
I hate you
