Is ThermalTake Confused about "QUAD-SLI Certified"?

[Gutspiller]

As some may have seen I'm looking for a new PSU. I'm over at ThermalTakes website looking at PSUs and I see this: "NVIDIA QUAD-SLI Certified" next to a 650W power supply. Now my question is, how can they claim this when the power supply only has one 6pin PCI-E connector and one 8pin PCI-E connector?

Are there nvidia cards that have 2 GPUs on them that only require one 6pin connector? Because if not, then how can ThermalTake claim that their W0104RU 650W power supply is infact "NVIDIA QUAD-SLI Certified"?

I'm more just curious about this than anything. Thanks for anybody that can answer this scratch I have.

A 7950GX2 I believe only used one 6 pin pci-e so yeah.

Correct. Nvidia would never certify a 650W for 9800 GX2 SLI, never mind one that only had two PCIe. I'm sure they mean "7950 GX2" which did only have one 6-pin per card (except the early reference design, but those all went to system builders).

The 9800gx2 requires two power connectors - a 6-pin and 8-pin (6+2 on mine)
