any idea when the 8950gx2's are gonna be out?

any news?

Just curious as to why you're interested? Its going to be another SLi implementation most likely, and frankly SLi still sucks. Unless you're gaming at 2560, a single GTX or HD 2900XT should be plenty.

Or 2900XTX.

I am curious because I am hoping to use it for my step up program from EVGA because they do not make ATI cards, so logically this would be the next card out.

Well, if your sig is accurate (6600GT + 22" wfp), a single 8800 GTX or 2900 XT is plenty. There has never been any official word on a G80-based GX2, just leaked roadmaps and speculation from the usual suspects. They're all pretty consistent indicating its going to be another SLi on-one-card solution with 2 trimmed down GPUs smushed together onto one card. Think 8800 GTS in SLi vs. a single GTX. Given the current state of SLi, that means you might see 25-50% better performance at best, with slower performance or totally broken SLi performance in a lot of other games.

Oh and I didn't mention the 2900XTX because the EVGA step-up period is only 90 days.

My sig is a little old.... I have a newly bought 8800gts atm, and its the EVGA. I know that I dont NEED a better card for just a 22", but I would just like to take advantage of my step up deal, which ends mid july.

Also- EVGA doesnt make ATI cards, am i right? bump

Only Nvidia.
