Running 4 Graphics Cards

[1nfamous]

Having quite a debate with some people i know. They think it is possible to run 4 GTX 295s on the one motherboard. Im pretty sure that this isnt possible. A friend of mine tells me it can be done with certain ATI cards, but not with Nvidia cards.

Who is right? What is possible? Thanks.

the gtx 295 is actually 2 cards in one. so 2 of them IS quad SLI.

Yes but the people 1nfamous knows think you can run four physical gtx295's. As in, 4 x 2 cards on the one which makes eight GPU's which wont work.

Edit: And with that quad slot mobo above, at the end of the article it said that nvidia did not have drivers to support quad sli, so they may be slotted in the slots, but is it not actually four cards running at once? Just because they are physically inserted into the mobo, do they actually all work? If not, then it can't be said to be a true quad graphics card slot mobo.

I don't think so, I think a 295 GTX has only one SLI connector, and 6 GPU's in SLI isn't possible.
