Predator: If the card doesn't fit because of the chipset cooler, its the motherboard design that is to blame, not the case.
SWE: What do you mean \"modification\"? You can't simply saw off half of the card so it fits, and cross you fingers that it will work :/

Is the performance worth the inevitable price tag though? As it is a top-of-the-line single card mahcine can run most any game full specs with very acceptable frame rates and once you get a certain point the difference becomes hardly noticeable.
The interesting thing is: if you have this setup, you still won't be restrained by PCI-Express' limits. With all this graphical power, you still won't have filled up all of PCI-E's available space.
Timm, there are no motherboards out right now that can support that GTX. I wouldn't say it's the motherboard manufacturer's fault...I think NVIDIA needs to redesign the card's physical characteristics.

No mobo can support the GTX? I think I'm reading that wrong. :unsure:

I am referring to the dual core GTX which Timm has displayed..... O_o

gigabyte has a quad sli motherboard too right? imagine 8 7800's
id rather get crossfire X1800's because 1 can take on two 7800's two could take on 4. because i think 2 is enough, and there would be little to none overclocking ability with 4 7800's i dont think you'd be able to set up water cooling and they would generate lots of heat.

An X1800XT can take on 2 7800GT's, not GTX's.

well whatr i meant by modification wasnt cutting it in half do u realy think im that stupid i mean have to buy a new slot but i think we have finished discussing it cause now u know what i mean ,no?
Buying a new PCI-Express slot? Not possible. I've recently read in CustomPC that PCI-E will soon be surpassed by PCI-American-Express. It has an added pipeline (so its 17x now) to add more bandwidth and capabilities to the slot.
