Here's the link:

This is absolutely ridiculous!! MSRP $900 or something???

 

[TStep]

Saw the same here. Absolutely monsterous in size, quite a bit taller than a normal card (dwarfs the 6600GTSLI).

WANKER, you beat me to it, :laugh:

I say it real same as gigabytes

There is now 2 post on same sub btw

 

[Creig]

But where's the SLI connector?!? I want TWO of those things running at once! (and some oven mitts for when I need to open the case).

 

[otispunkmeyer]

wow, thats gonna be powerful. looks good, and ill never have to have central heating again! ill jus wire my radiators to it, and my shower and ill be fine

 

[nRollo]

Doubt it. Would be nice if it's true, but I doubt it.

 

[Drayvn]

Are they gonna have a 3 or 4 slot cooling solution and a fan that could create its own weather?

 

[CherryBOMB]

As the birdy said,this will be great to run on top with an AGP card will be interesting!
Look foir the AGP PCI-X dual card config..-CB

Interesting thought if it were realized. SLI goodness for the AGP slot via bridge chip.🙂 Is there anything other than a practical marketing demographic keeping a bridged single card SLI solution from working in an AGP slot?

Does any one remember MaximumPC Mag back when the Voodo was hot in 1998?
On the back cover of several mags there was a Photo of a Video card with like 7 to 10 chips on it,It looked like 15" long, had multiple companies chips on it.
I will have to try to dig that look out and scan for this thread.
And yes there is talk of AGP Runing with PCI-X on the same board,refrence][ in the CPU mag as of late!

From what I have gathered,MotherBoard will be handeling this,Not Bridge.
This means current AGP owners will hold an SLI like card to run with a PCI-X card in the Futor.
Edit:SLI is Unness @ the moment other than for TOP Brags, IMHO
The conversion of AGP and PCI-X to boost preform will hold water for most holding cards of out date of AGP.
Thats the real Dual config to look forward to.

EDIT 2 : Via BRIDGE CHIP sorry not via bridge,my bad you were correct-CB

 

[TStep]

Ahh, you mean a AGP and PCIe like VIA PT880 Pro.

NICE*!*

SimFusion should make one of their stacked multiple GPU solutions from this thing, like the ones here:

Why do you folks think this would be any warmer than a regular SLI'd 6800U's?
What am I missing?

A Dual GPU Artic Cooling VGA Silencer to boot, that would push enough air to cool with one fan through that long of a heatsink.
Just Kidding-CB
Edit: Thats were I feel the real Issue would lie a Propper cooling solution.
I would expect a dual fan to realy kick off an Overclockable marketable product.

LMFAO! For some reason that just cracked me up. 🙂

I don't think it's any warmer, but I do like the fact that the manufacturers are experimenting with new ideas, rather than sitting on their hands and spewing forth some run-of-the-mill, reference designed card. I'll probably never buy it, as I don't see a need for SLI in my immediate future, but if it creates forward thinking that leads to innovative improvements, I'm all for it and it interests me.

[christopherzombie]

Will it work with all SLI mobos?

 

[mamisano]

I have a question.... why? Dual chip design died out with 3Dfx, and should have stayed that way. For the extra price some people are paying for SLI boards and 2 video cards, it just makes me question their faculties. With Dual Chip and SLI, how many more FPS do you need for these games? Is it just the fact of owning something that will score x% better on benchmarks for bragging rights?

Any of the current high-end cards should be sufficient for any gaming needs, at a lower price than sli/dual cards and without the hassle of driver issues to contend with. But hey, its your money.
