ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, dont wanna c the cooler 4 it :slobber:
Looks so cwooooooooool
Man it's if I imagine I put it on my mobo it's gonna b out of it :D

wow, its incredibly huge! i will be able to see it with my own eyes! whoohooo! :banana:

its a prototype though, the final pcb should be much smaller i reckon... IF they build a final card that is... :D

sxs, i replaced the image since it was loading so slowly, ok? :)

I spy what appears to be adjustable voltage rails....

saaya

03-09-2005, 01:55 AM

for the prototype maybe... doubt the final card will have it...
abit also claimed they would release a card that allows users to bump up vgpu and vmem, but they never did it... its just not worth it, too many cards would die in the hands of unexpirienced users i think...

too bad they cant make a special series of 100 cards or so with that option... but the design changes are too complex for such a small series i guess

Rippthrough

03-09-2005, 01:59 AM

Allowing for memory timing tweaks would be nice, without have to mess about flashing. I suppose half the cards would be RMA'd if adjustable rails were allowed. Surely they can put something onboard which can measure and store the voltage values - that'd stop wrongful RMA's.

PS: 15k get celebrating.

Damn sxs112 is the man for new Hardware..

that card looks Big, but DAMN! dual 6800ultras on one pcb.. i wonder if asus would sli 2 of those :)

yeah :banana:
two of this cards in one system are killer :D

Wow, that PCB is huge, would prolly be bigger than the mobo lol :eek:

I don't see why getting this card would be better than 2 Ultra's, if it's ever released. And hopefully they don't make it just compatible with Asus boards like Gigabyte did with their 3D1 :rolleyes:

the final pcb will be smaller, much smaller than two single card pcbs + fets +caps etc... its cheaper to build one card than two single cards :)

i wonder if asus would sli 2 of those :)

i highly doubt it...
i dont think that dual vpu cards will run in sli, despite the huge power and cooling requirements dont forget that if you have 4 vpus each would only receive pciE 4x bandwidth!
this would cripple the performence notably i think, and a 4 vpu solution would be very cpu limited as well...

That's just great, wonder how it will do against Geforce 6800ultra in SLI.

HARDCORECLOCKER

03-09-2005, 06:56 AM

:D No SLI connector so far - maybe this card won't work with current SLI,
SLI 2 is needed.......... :toast:

03-09-2005, 12:29 PM

god that thing is almost the size of a mobo! as for no sli of that, maybe those are only capable of handling two chips in parrallel? I doubt this will fit in most cases anyway, way too big :eek:

CrArC

03-09-2005, 12:31 PM

T'would certainly take up all 16 PCIE lanes... I doubt two of these could be used for SLI. But that would still rule so bad... :D

03-09-2005, 01:56 PM

I don't see why it wouldn't work in sli, only thing is it would have to be supported by the drivers which nvidia probably won't do. And even if they all ran at 4x, that would still be plently of bandwidth for them.

wow, awesome. i think multi cpu/ gpu is the new wave of things. sweet.

Nvidia should start making cpus! they are good chip making company.

HOLY mother of god!!!if only they could make an agp version of that somehow....also i like th eidea of giving that sucker an sli connector, imagine 4 6800 ultras tearing up a 20,000 in 3dmark05 :D

I wonder what the power requirements for that card are?

I'd hate to shell out another couple hundred bucks for a 700W zippy, after spending god knows how much on one of those just. Then again if I could afford that I don"t think I'd care too much either.
think of it as 2x 6800u's in SLI.....Pc Power and Cooling / OCZ offer PSU's that can handle that load for around $200-230

EDIT: that load along with the likes of other top end hardware

actually... I saw a test somewhere (maybe THG... dunno) where they got special BIOSes and taped off parts of the cards to run all the latest stuff at 16x, 8x, 4x, 2x, and 1x speeds. if i recall correctly, the only speed hits were in either professional applications or <4x (2x and 1x, that is). So, in the end, the performance boost of having 4 cores would far outweigh the fact that they each only get PCI-E 4x.
ooooor.... if it was with an nForce Pro chipset combination... 2x true 16x lanes could be used and... wait, no, that motherboard doesn't exsist (yet).
Either way, it would kick ass.

direct ac power isnt clean enough, and without a good ac connection it could easily kill the card

Wondering the same thing my self alot of this dual gpu's don't hit the market just like the 9700 and so many others ive seen the market just isnt there for most of them. But there is a 6600 dual gpu so... who knows

V5 6K didnt use direct AC power, that power adaptor was a power supply... just a small one.

It would cool to see the flip side. How much memory does it have? 1024Mb???

From Xbit labs:

our reliable sources close to NVIDIA claim that that company does approve the use of dual-chip PCB designs and four-chip system configurations.

So dual-dual 6800U in SLI does have Nvidia's blessing.

ABIT released them, in the "Guru" series.

RAndomaN

03-11-2005, 09:15 AM

Well correct me if im wrong, PCI-Express specifications go all the way up to 32x... so eventually you'll be able to have 4 x SLi (2 of these cards) with no problems at all

that about the size of a motherboard. lol , i like it.

Really xtreme if you can SLi them too :D

I hope this is a beta PCB, because the layout looks like it was made up in 5 minutes.. Come on ASUS, you can do better than that. It won't fit even in some large cases in the current state.

[XC] moddolicous

03-12-2005, 07:04 PM

Does that have 512mb ram!?!? :slobber: :slobber: . Thats an insane card. Would all that ram affect overclocking?

IvanAndreevich

03-12-2005, 07:26 PM

It has 256MB per GPU.
>>Would all that ram affect overclocking?
What's that supposed to mean? I don't think that card would overclock any good (ESPECIALLY ON THE RAM) - just look at the ugly PCB layout..

stealthbomber

03-12-2005, 07:33 PM

Fitting 2x modded NV Silencers (with 60mm fans) on that card looks quite straight forward, we can forget about putting our case side panals back on... :D

Think Dual 6800U SLI with quad NV Silencers. :banana4:
