Whats the maximum number of video cards a computer can hold?
Can I do 6?
To: Casual Gamer, THANK YOU! OK, first, I can't afford even 1 nice video card, then you have somehow SLI them all blah blah blah, 4, that's what I wanted to know, pure curiosity. And yes, I knew it wasn't 6, I just randomly picked a number.

if u have a newer moptherboard, i think 4, being either 2 9800gx2s or 2 radeo 4870x2s, which are two cards fused together into one card. you cannot use three of those at the same time, but u can use 3 9800gtxs, 3 gx260s, or 3 gx280s at the same time, if ur mobo allows it.
Why do u need 6?!?! Nowadays 2 9800gts can handle about everything.!
even if u could, having 6 video cards would cost about 2 or 3 thousand dollars! cuz you would have to like use experimental cards or something.

This is the epitome of dumb.
Sure, you need a sextuple LI mother/father board. along with several daughter boards, with double redundancy and a vernacular pedestal. A cerebral peduncle may be required as a mandatory option...along with nuclear power. You certainly exhibit vast stockpiles of corpulence to endeavor to ask such a degree of certitude for profligate purposes.
You might also consider adding an Untermueller device to proselytize the homunculus near the periphery of the midline. The Versnicht will then adumbrate and perfunctory removal of same.
...and you still couldn't "run Crysis on high."

No, because it depends on the motherboard and video card manufacturers and I haven't seen any motherboards that can support that many and I haven't seen any video card manufactures with this feature.

it's not as simple as just cramming a billion graphics cards into the pc you idiot. you have to get the right motherboard for it and run them in either SLI or Crossfire. 4 is the max you can run.
