    I read that article and that's all fine and dandy but if you read the whole article you would note the fact that you need to over clock the cpu by a significant amount to run all 4 cards to there full potential.
    The Rig I put together wasn't meant for over clocking, Otherwise I would have stated that.

    The CPU will still bottle neck the 4 gpu's.

    "Crysis Warhead

    Yes, it plays Crysis. I think we can put that meme to bed. Instead of mixing settings, I maxed it out. Let's punish these cards, eh? So with all Enthusiast settings and the resolution cranked, I wanted to see just what Fermi could do - with the end result seeing if 3-way would provide a good experience. It does - without anti-aliasing. It comes close with 4X, and does surprisingly well at 8X AA, but remember that there are more demanding parts in this game than this canned benchmark.

    Correction: Crysis is running in DX10 mode, typo on my part, long night

    Take a look at that scaling. Typically the returns on going to 3 or more GPU cores are very diminishing, but you can see that Fermi scales very well, so that investment in a third card is not going to waste. Adding 100% more processing power @8X AA with a 2nd GPU brings with it an 86% improvement, and then adding 50% aggregate processing power to a dual GPU setup brings an astounding 36% improvement - not bad at all."
