Why do you want 4-way sli?

 

If you really want a smaller form facter, and for some reason still need 4-way, try and find a titan Z cheap (please don't hurt me) or a 295X2

Fair enough for someone who wants 4 was SLI.

Go for the Titan Z or 2, why the hell not.

Please, for the love of everything, don't even remotely consider 4 980s. Tell your friend it would be the single greatest waste of his money he could make in a gaming rig.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

What are you doing with 4 980s? You're likely going to hit vRAM limits before you can use all that power. 

 

2 Titan Zs would genuinely be a better solution.

You can scale that bar.
