No, Voodoo2's SLI only supports up to 2 framebuffers.

(Quantum3D's Obsidian2 200SBi bricks, use a bridge chip to let more chipsets work together but it only increases quality, not performance compared to 2 Voodoo2's in SLI.)

First of all, it's not supported by hardware, each V2 card has only one (1) SLI connector, so you can link one card only with another one, that's all. So, no software can correct this.

There are some special Q3D boards that are made by up to 8 Voodoo2 cards, but the cards are capable only to work with antialiasing, the performance is not higher than V2 SLI.
