Why is that strange- we've know this was coming? (AT, Toms, others reviewed it)

The price is nothing special, it's basically $400 for 6600GT SLI and $185 for an SLI motherboard, which can be done pretty easily with any brand.

It comes like that because giga-byte's single card sli only works on that particular board, so it comes as a combo pack.

chipset seems odd. Must be a mistake. Also I did'nt know these 2 GPU cards were even out yet.

 

[nRollo]

I like this set, just because of the "cool hardware" factor, great value or not...

I don't know what's up with the chipset though.

 

[Zebo]

Agreed

wow, you get a lot of cables with it too. i saw their ad a while ago for this and was wondering how much it was going to be.... not that i have any intention of buying it.... or any money for that matter...

Hmm thats an Intel chipset as well. Interesting.

Now if only Gigabyte would make the dual GPU SLI compatible. 4 GPUS ; .

Don't know about the vendor, but $549 is a good price.

rollo do you have any links for benchmarks for this particular card.. I wonder of it's even faster than two real live 6600GT's since they can do more stuff with short tracing on one card.

Yes good deal.. this mobo rocks.

$215 board
$195.00 gigabyte GT
$195.00 gigabyte GT

= $605 priced separate and no games or coolness factor

 

[Zebo]

Yes I was right

the dual GPU card performs a few percent faster than 2 x 6600GT in SLI mode.

Hmm thats an Intel chipset as well. Interesting.

Supported CPU: Socket 939 AMD Athlon 64FX/64
Chipset: i915P + ICH6

I'm pretty sure that is a misprint.
