No one on if or when the technology might come to the Mac Pro, but Nvidia">http://www.nvidia.com">Nvidia has extended its SLI technology, which enables the use of multiple graphics processing units (GPUs) on a single computer, allowing up to three GeForce graphics cards to be used in a single machine.
The company says its new 3-way SLI delivers up to a 2.8x performance increase over a single GPU system, giving high-end gamers 60 frames per second at resolutions as high as 2560×1600 and with 8x antialiasing. The heart of a 3-way SLI system is an Nvidia nForce 680 SLI MCP
motherboard and three GeForce 8800 GTX or GeForce 8800 Ultra graphics cards.
With 3-way SLI, gamers can harness the power of 384 stream processors, a 110+ gigatexel per second texture fill rate, and over two gigabytes of graphics memory for no-compromise gaming performance, according to Ujesh Desai, general manager of GeForce desktop GPUs. He adds that 3-way SLI gives gamers the flexibility to scale their graphics processing power with one, two, or three GeForce GPUs, depending on their desired price and system configuration.
