yea i beleive they make them in 2 or 3 models now. they are pretty cool. i would like to see some benchmarks comparign them to other cards though.

looks huge!

would you be able to hook two up in sli ????????????

 

[liquidshadow]

doubt it. the 7800gt dual card isn't capable of sli. It even needs its own external adapter

 

[super_xero]

its own personal adapter wow couldint it just use like 2 molex conectors extra or something

 

[mushroomsatsujin]

ahead of its time i guess

yep u no what will be nice to see 4 of these cards in sli so basically you are running 8 gpu in sli that would b out of this world performance

i think that would be a little overkill, because after so much graphical power, the game will not even change. its kinda like when you play an older game with a newer gpu, the graphics are only gonna look so good.

i read a review of this a little while ago, they said it could do SLI if there was driver support for it. ive yet to think why anyone would want to spend that much money on something that has no practical use but its innovative none the less

haha, looks to me like dual channel ram on a single video card-- not dual gpu. i could be wrong but it looks like theres one gpu and two memory channels on that card. however--- that STILL would be AMAZING performance. but look at the price of that card! DAMN... plus id rather go with a 7800gtx 512mb, but man who has the money... oh thats right a**holes looking for bragging rights, not gamers obviously.

Speaking of graphical overkill, I read a link on this sight that the newer version of ATI Crossfire would be able to support up to 32 GPU's! sounds like something for the rich kids to brag about

 

[Cromewell]

It's not dual core, its dual GPU, they just happen to be on the same PCB. If you removed the heatsink there are 2 physical GPUs.

I read a link on this sight that the newer version of ATI Crossfire would be able to support up to 32 GPU's!

I think you are right that it's 32 GPUs, but how would you get 32 PCIe cards in your case? ...or 8 of them for that matter...

@Cromewell: They have an external PCIé spec now. I read about it in CPU magazine July 2005 IIRC.

 

[Cromewell]

There's still the issue of getting ~128 minimun (assuming 4x slots per card) PCIe lanes though to the chipset.

dual core video card?

Its two GPUs and memory blocks on a single card

Haha that'll be nice hehe
