Quad GPU'S?
Can you possibly add quad gpu's and new cases for custom builds exsamples :
Quad GPUS : {LINK REMOVED}
Custom Cases :https://www.mediafire.com/file/sfvcm7ivot05rr3/Custom_Cases.rar/file

Quad GPU's most likely will never appear in the game. Half of the video cards in game don't even support Quad-GPU IRL. If they can't do it for all of them then they probably won't even put it in at all. Also the video cards we do have in game that can do Quad-GPU, we don't have the power supplies in-game to run 4 of them overclocked. 1600 watt units are not enough.

Would be nice to see.

If they were to do it though they would of corse add the parts nessesary for the update

Even in real life there's not really a single power supply that can handle a set of overclocked 4 x GTX 1080 Ti's. Even a 2000-watt unit would borderline barely do it, and probably not be enough when you get to overclocking. Not when you factor in putting in a 18 core CPU with it and overclocking that too.

It's extremely unlikely to ever happen with PCBS. It's just not realistic to ever see that in a game like this.

I dunno about Ti's but 1080's only pull >200 watts. 1600 would be overkill for 4 of them. Sure, other cards may not work. But they'd have to pull a tremendous amount of power.

1080 Ti's on their default stock bios's pull 250 - 300 watts each, 4 of them would be 1200 watts alone. And then you have to factor in the CPU and the rest of the system. Let's take for example Intel's 7980XE. It's been proven and demonstrated that if you have that processor alone in system with a very basic video card like a GT-1030, the 7980XE can cause the entire system to pull upwards of 400-600 watts just for the CPU when overclocking the 7980XE and doing cpu only tests. So that would put you somewhere in the range of 1800 watts for 4 x 1080 Ti's + CPU overclock.

I did some searching and I looked on newegg, and on pcpartpicker and I could only find one power supply at 2000 watts, this one: https://www.newegg.com/p/1HU-0095-000D6

And also bear in mind that this is rated for only 2000 watts on 240vAC, it's only 1200 watts on normal 120vAC USA current.

Also the other point is quad-GPU setups are only for benchmarking. You can't even use them in games because 90% of games won't even open/run with quad SLI enabled or quad crossfire enabled. Most games will black screen or crash to desktop.

It's an extremely stupid, unreasonable, unrealistic setup.

And no you can't connect 4 x RTX 2080 Ti's in SLI. You can't connect four of any RTX nvidia cards together at all, they use a different physical connector (NV-Link) which only supports two-way. 1000 series only for 4-way. And I'm not even sure which AMD cards at all can use 4-way. I would have to do some research in the official 3dmark site and hwbot.

Neither AMD nor Nvidia officially advertise which cards are compatible with 4-way. It's not an officially supported configuration by either company in any video card model.

That's all fine. I didn't say every card could or should be used for it :)
My mobo supports it, and my last one did. So it's clearly possible to do. Not only that, but there's no shortage of pictures running quad setups and they also can be seen at game/demo conventions.

Of course not popular - but possible. The game has other ridiculous things as well like... Who gives a budget of $6000 for a PC to play a min spec game? Realism has very VERY little to do with it.

Actually it does. They may not be realistic on budget but this is a simulator. They have partner agreements with the various companies and because of that they can not put anything in game that isn't officially supported in real life. So if AMD or Nvidia do not support Quad-GPU's then they can't put it in game.

What about K|NGP|N's World record in 3DMark's Time Spy (44444) using GTX 1080 Ti (4x SLI) and Intel Core i9-9980XE Processor. All components avaliable in PCBS, but don't ask me how he did it. My best score so far in PCBS is 24325 with RTX 2080 Ti (2xSLI) and same CPU (i9-9980XE)

If you answer to a thread then read that thread before.

Because Kingpin works for EVGA (He's an employee there) and he has access to "Unlocked" video cards with no power limits and custom bios's that are internal within EVGA and not released to the public (bios's). Because of this he gets to do crazy overclocking stuff that normally no one else in the world is able to do. Everyone else out there has to deal with locked video cards with power limits which limit their performance.

Also there is no single power supply in the world that can handle 4 x overclocked 1080 Ti's. That would exceed even the biggest 1600 watt ones. The only way he's able to do that is with crazy setups that have 5 power supplies: 1 for each video card and a 5'th for the system.

On top of that they use liquid nitrogen for it.

It's completely unrealistic and pretty much completely impossible to implement in the PCBS game.

OK. That I didn't know. I that case he should be excluded from posting his results to 3DMark. Just like athletes get excluded for using doping to enhance their performance.

Unfortunately there's nothing that stops them from doing it. 3DMark isn't going to start "Playing favorites" and excluding certain people from posting to 3dmark. That would be a huge controversy and lots of problems. Kingpin has been a big name in video card overclocking for many many years. At least since the GTX 400 days. I remember he was famous for using an EVGA SR-2 / Dual-Socket Intel LGA-1366 system and a 4-way GTX 480 setup (All internal inside EVGA) for posting world records that no one could touch for several years.

Still unfair to others. Just like doping is to athletes.
What if I would be working for Nvidia, Intel and AMD at the same time. Kingpin would be............
It's just not fair.

He's not alone. There are other world record holders that work for MSI, Gigabyte, ETC that work internally with access to motherboards with non-public bios's and literally unlimited tanks of liquid nitrogen to post CPU World records for motherboards too. It's a common thing. It's why I stopped bothering with trying to make world records on "current gen" products for posting online and instead I've tried with older gear no one cares about anymore. We common folk just can't compete with them on the high end with current-day things.
