Who is making a 6800 GT with dual DVI?

[BBC454]

I want to get a 6800 GT but looking at all of the companies it seems none are making a dual DVI card. Asus was the only one who looks like it might but their website is a little messed up, it keeps linking the ultra specs to the GT's. I don't want to spend $100 more for only 5 or so frames more with the ultra just to have dual dvi. Does anyone know of any companies who are going to make a dual DVI GT card?

From what I can tell there is Asus, Aopen, and xfx. There are probably others as well.

**EDIT**
Sorry, i just checked out xfx again it looks like they are not. However MSI is.

I haven't updated my dual-DVI thread here (one at 2CPU.com is more up-to-date), but I think XFX has such an offering. I thought I read a review on it today ...

Never mind, it was a non-GT I saw today ... http://www.neoseeker.com/Hardware/Products/xfx_geforce6800_ultra/reviews.html

As far as I know XFX's ultra has dual dvi, but the GT does not.

So far I found that Albatron and Gigabyte are making dual dvi GTs. I don't know for sure but Asus might also be. MSI, Aopen, PNY, Gainward, Leadtek, and eVGA are either not making a GT or they are not dual dvi (didn't write down who is doing what). So it looks like I might get a Albatron unless Asus does have a dual dvi card coming out.

What's the word on PNY 6800 GT? Is it Dual-DVI or not? It doesn't look like it, but both on PNY site and on some other pics it shows a, but don't know if it's GT. THis is the fact that will either make me jump in on that CompUSA deal or not, please let me know.

I don't understand why ALL videocards aren't dual-DVI.

Some of it might be cost to the manufacturer, but most of it I would guess would be because half the people get freaked out hearing dual-dvi when they have a vga monitor... lol

I currently have a dual-monitor setup with one dvi lcd and a vga crt, but soon I'm hoping to have both as lcd so that's why I need something with dual-dvi, just better image quality and don't have to worry about all the adjustments.

I guess because it adds on to the cost of production, in making a 2nd dvi connector and the dvi-vga thingy.
