Asus just announced a bizarre contraption designed to add 4-way SLI support to Asus ROG Rampage III Extreme motherboard. The device is an add-in card that plugs into the existing PCI-E slots of the motherboard and provides four PCI-E 2.0 x16 slots for quadruple video cards setups.
The daughter board features a pair of nForce 200 chips to provide full bandwidth to all four cards. The contraption draws no power from the main board, but is instead powered by three molex connectors and a single 6-pin PCI-E power connector. At the same time, as the design makes for a slightly elevated graphics cards positioning, consumers won't be able to use it in a standard case and therefore requires out-of-case setups.
