Only a month or two ago we took a peek at the NVIDIA's GeForce 7950 GX2 where we tried to enable Quad SLI with the help of two GeForce 7950 GX2 graphics cards. At that time the results were quite a catastrophe and I halted that "mini" review within one page as there was only one game really supported. Not exactly NVIDIA's fault, we just where curious. Back then I stated that I very much doubted if NVIDIA would get Quad SLI running... ever.

Well okay so that was a little presumptuous. Obviously one thing was a fact, NVIDIA is and was selling Quad SLI based system through system resellers so there had to be some sort of support eventually.

Merely eight weeks later NVIDIA recently released a ForceWare 91.37 driver to the public opening up Quad SLI compatibility not only to these pre-built Quad SLI rigs but also for the do-it yourselfers among us, thus offering you the option to build and try out Quad SLI. Quite a challenge I figured but hey, I'm not saying it's there just yet but there has been some tremendous progress that we just have to write a little something about.
