INSANITY! 2 x 6800 Ultra in 1 card

[razor2025]

HardOCP has posted a news post on a prototype card from ASUS.

Here's the picture that shows the card. You're seeing TWO , that's right, TWO 6800 Ultra core with their own memory in 1 single card..... I can't even imagine the cost of this thing nor the power drain / thermal output of such monstrosity.

This reminds me of the Obsidian (err, or something like that) that had two voodoo2 chips on it, so you get the original SLI with only 1 video card. That thing was a foot long!

i dont know if you are being serious or facetious.. but this card is a perfect example of how cool it is.
it enables so much stuff.. just need to research and develop GPUs that work in tandem.. and the software ect.. 😀

THEN its really cool what they can do!

thank the GPU-gods for ATI/NV wars... or we wouldnt have SLI, the R300, or prob even these relatively rapid DX software/hardware advances we've had.
it'd be nice and stagnant like the audio market became.
