i thought tulip said it was a dual chip intel/nvidia mobo based on 780i or something. Whatever there is soooooo much FUD here to sift through that it gives me a headache, if this is real or fake, its alpha and almost 10 months away from release anyway.
Im sure the estimates of breaking 20K 3dmark on 1 card will be true when gt200 goes retail at that time.
If I had the cash, I wouldn't hesitate jumping on some $229 8800GTS's for SLI right now and pairing them with the modded drivers and doing some serious overclocking. This will run someone $460 and bash anything out there besides a 4gpu ati, or 3 gpu nvidia setup. 4 gpu ati and 3 or 4 gpu nvidia rigs will run you over 800-900 bucks on video parts alone. someone with 8800gts sli, or someone about to get that is sitting pretty fat right now. All you need to do is increase the vGPU, run the modded g94 drivers, and overclock them and they are practically top-notch 9800 series cards.
IMO that won't get officially slaughtered until you see RV770 or GT200. And even then, i bet it beats a single card version of rv770 or gt200.
