AT indicates Asus has fastest single card on planet

[Paratus]

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:

You cant crossfire them =(

 

[Rage187]

yeah cause they would never put 2 512mb GTX cores on one card

Give Asus a chance.

nice, cant wait to see some benchies

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

 

[VERTIGGO]

wow, a dual R520 would make crossfire pointless, at least until the PCIEx16 becomes the limitation...

 

[OneOfTheseDays]

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.

 

[tuteja1986]

and expensive as hell...

 

[Cooler]

It might be cheaper then the SLI 7800 gtx 512 .

 

[Hacp]

Hmmm, that would mean buying an expensive 600 watt psul.

 

[coomar]

i would assume if you were going to crossfire two x1800 level gpu's that you would have a 600+ watt psu anyways

 

[VERTIGGO]

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.
