AT indicates Asus has fastest single card on planet

I know we already have seen the dual 7800GT card from Asus but I can't believe no one has picked up on this one yet.

So I've decided to embrace my inner-fanboi and present wild innuendo as "news"

From the font page Q4 Motherboard and Graphics: Tour de Taiwan

A dual R520 card is in the works based on the same design.

If folks are assuming the dual GT card is the fastest then a dual 520 (based on the 512mb XT specs) will destroy it any other 7800 based card (including the 512mb).

Muahhhhaaaaa! :laugh:

Who says so this thread is for WAG (wild a.. guesses)

Although 2 dual cards each with 1GB of vram would give you 2GB total vram


<drool>
 
If Crossfire is anything like SLI then that means that dual 1GBVRAM cards will have a 1GB frame buffer available NOT 2GB.

Yes but you missed the point. I was just amazed at the idea of physically having two times as much video ram as I currently have system ram. Not that I would have a 2 Gb frame buffer.
 
LOL... you really know when you need to get out more - when you GFX card has more / as much RAM as the typical person's system 😀
 
seriously, they should just scrap crossfire for the X1800 series and use one fatty dual-core card. that way it could have an external power adapter to reduce the load on the PS and a much nicer dual-slot cooler with a larger fan that spins slower. makes sense to me.
 
you also missed the point.. that the card will feature an external PS, which makes the load on the system's PSU even less than an alternate solution.
