Well apparently a single 690 slightly outperforms, is quieter, and runs cooler than SLI 680s so if you figure there are people out there with dual 680s this doesn't seem like such a big deal...
Still who the heck needs this? The 680 already is overkill for almost everything out today. Nvidia says it can run Crysis 2 Ultra at 58 fps.

Only 4 outputs... Ew. Nvidia might win me back over if they released cards with 5-6 way Surround. I honestly like the Nvidia drivers more than AMD, so much easier to support niche configurations. But I do like 3x DVI. DP Adapters are so cumbersome.
Rich and famous? Hardly. Some people put rims on their cars. Some people put high end video cards in their computers.
Why do you need that much power? Hella fast video encoding (now that i'd know)? Running games at highest possible settings at higher than HD resolution.
Damn, Bought 4.
Quad SLI rig incoming.
Since the 690 is a dual GPU card it's actually 8 way SLI right?

I wonder what kind of power supply, custom water loop and case you'd need to fit/run an octo-SLI

That card looks sexy as f*** !
I'm perfectly happy with a single 680 performance but I want it to look like that. lol. I have never wanted a windowed case either until now. Aluminum shroud!
