For gaming no, but you can use three in one system for compute and that's the main purpose I'm buying them

I'm not talking about gaming, I mean PERIOD! The 690 is basically the same (even flatter) and it could not go above Quad (two physical cards). Frankly, I wouldn't believe it unless I saw it in action, and I never say stuff like that. You're claiming 6-way SLI, which is, currently, not possible.

You can do a lot when not bound by the usual limits of gaming configurations.

I don't see anything running on a screen. Regardless, I've never heard of being able to 6-way SLI cards (again, outside of gaming rigs - which is what I've been talking about all this time, since I don't build sole gaming rigs anymore), and I'm buying this card for one of the same reasons you are. 

Nothing personal, but I remain firm on needing to see in action to believe it, so I'll just rest at that.

Edit: Perhaps there's a non-SLI way of doing this, but I've never seen/heard of it. Be truly unprecedented if true, and I'll happily eat my words.

You're confusing sli limitations with GPU usage limitations.

Its possible to string as many GPUs as the board has ports to house them.

 

Of you're really nuts you can go here and buy an 8 Tesla setup.
