Anyone know a psu with 6x 6-pin pci-e conncetors, preferrably modular?

Well you admit that the 9800GX2 performs close to the GTX 280. The 9800GX2 is just 2 8800GT's stuck together that share the memory and a single PCI-E connection. So there we go, you have just told me that SLI work fairly well.

i didn't say i liked the 9800gx2.. i said it is the better option than a gtx280 at the moment as it is 100 bucks cheaper and has the same performance. This could be subject to change as the drivers for the gtx280 are shit at the moment, nvidia will release the better drivers for it when the 4870x2 comes out (remember what ATi did not so long ago, 30-40% fps increase)... and there is the g200b in September, which is a die shrink of the gtx280
That on the slizone site is nvidia marketing.

What ever, The Nexus 80 Plus line of power supplies is such garbage.. mine cought on fire 6 days after I installed it. I have been working with PCs, Macs for almost 15 years...and make gaming systems on the side... as well design games in my free time for fun.....The Nexus 80 Plus line of power supplies are crap. But go out and buy one... it's your house..

go to slizone(dot)com > learn more >technology overview. They have benchmarks there. I really don't understand why you think SLI can't scale well. I have run benchmarks with and without SLI on company of heroes and it scaled near perfectly 2x. Also you seem to like the 9800GX2 which is an SLI setup in one. If you actually look inside the card, there are two PCBs using one PCI-E connection. It still uses SLI rendering modes which is why it performs almost exactly the same as 2x 8800GT's in SLI.

Today Microsoft unveils more details about the next generation API - DirectX 11. The Compute Shader, Tessallation, Multi-thread randerings and GPGPU support are included.
Details were given in Gamefest.
i can give you links if you wish to view sources

you should get 2x the fps over all resolutions, which doesn't happen.
scaled down quote on DX 11:
* Full support on Windows Vista
* Compatibility with DirectX 10 and 10.1
* New compute shader technology that lays the groundwork for the GPU to be used for more than just 3D graphics, so that developers can take advantage of the graphics card as a parallel processor
* Multi-threaded resource handling that will allow games to better take advantage of multi-core machines
* Support for tessellation |
