What's wrong with 4x690? Is is a Windows or firmware problem?

When we try the answer from NVidia itself, simply the windows have no resources to control 4x690, i just don´t know what "no resources" means but it´s related to the windows itself. So is possible that confiuration work on other OS, but i never try.

One mate even receive a new BIOS from NVidia to try to bypass the problem, the resoult was he need to send back the GPU to NVidia for repairs, so we all stop to try to make any further tests in so "high expensive" GPus.

All that happening about a year ago, and after that i never hear someone else who try, and realy works, any other mix of 4 GPUs works. I personaly try 4x690 and not work, then i switch to 3x690+590 works perfect, hot as a well but works (with 1x1000+1x1350 PSU), actualy i split the GPU´s on smaller hosts because is more easy to handle the heat since i can´t use watercooling here and have no AC.
