If we look at the PCB (this is the reference card BTW) we can see two SLI connectors, four cards in quad-SLI GPU mode are supported. Quad SLI however is difficult and often a maze of driver problems, Nvidia has never really recommended or actively supported quad-SLI. But for a handful of benchmarks and sheer e-peen, it will work OK'ish. We really recommend to go with a maximum of 2, maybe three cards.
Nvidia/EVGA tucked 3 GB of graphics memory on this card (24 pieces of 32M ×16 GDDR5 SDRAM). 3GB we feel is a sweet spot for high-end anno 2013, but with Ultra HD gaming in mind, I feel 4 GB should have been the minimum.
The card is 27 cm in length. We'll also look at performance based on high-end yet more moderate processors and then on the X79 platform with an overclocked Core i7 3960X running at 4600 MHz.
The ACX Cooler features a reinforcement baseplate that helps maintain a straight PCB (Printed Circuit Board), which helps lower mosfet temperatures by 7 percent and memory temperatures by 15 percent. That's it for this photoshoot though. We need to tell you a tale or two about the GPU and the architecture.
