Dual-GPU video card? I don't get it. Are they talking about SLI and crossfire?

No I believe its two gpus on one video card taking up one slot.

Like a dual-core cpu. Its two cores on one cpu, using one socket.

3 things:

1) That's not 2 GPUs on 1 card, that's 2 GPUs on 2 cards bound together.

2) Gigabyte already has made cards that are true dual GPU cards with 2 GPUs on one card. They weren't very popular

3) The card linked is for use in QuadSLI systems.

Waste of good money. Go buy a pair of 7900GTs. /thread

If u could just use one of these i prolly wouldn't be such a bad option, i think, assuming its cheaper than buying 2 cards separately and sli them.

it's like all the quad-sli cards that have been released. Gigabyte and ASUS releases true two GPU 1 card video cards. They weren't popular at all. Here is a link to newegg to the ASUS card.
