    Nvidia will launch its Quad-SLI technology, which will enable to run four GeForce graphics chips in one computer system, on 22 March, TG Daily has learned. Quad-SLI will be launched with 7900 GTX graphics chips, which will be announced on 9 March, sources indicated.

    Dual graphics cards won't be enough to secure bragging rights at LAN parties in the near future. Nvidia is gearing up to launch Quad-SLI, based on the upcoming 7900 GTX graphics chip with 512 MB GDDR3 memory. Users who will be able to buy one of these - as it appears - initially very rare systems will have access to a new graphics performance level that is supported by a whopping 1.3 billion transistors.

    A Dell XPS Renegade system was the first Quad-SLI system to be demonstrated in public at CES in January. Apparently, Dell will not be only system builder to launch a Quad-SLI system on 22 March; we expect enthusiast PC manufacturers to have systems available - in limited quantities - as well. We are told that Quad-SLI, which is based on a 2x2 graphics card system, will only be available through the purchase of a new PC and not in the retail market. Sources indicated that such computers won't be cheap: Expect prices for a Quad-SLI system to begin at about $6000.

    The rest is Here at TG Daily.
