I'll be overhauling my system shortly and was wondering if anybody knows if the BFG 7800 GTX has dual link DVI?? The Evga website says theirs has one dual link port, but has anyone heard anything to confirm that BFG is likewise (their website is rather vague).


Anyhow, the new system will be as follows:

2x Opteron 275
Tyan K8W-E
2x BFG 7800 GTX (provided they have dual link DVI) (x2)
4GB RAM (maybe 8GB if I can convince myself)
PC Power and Cooling 850 SSI

Hard drives will be carried over...;)

Just got off the phone with BFG and they confirmed that the 7800 GTX has one dual link and one single link.

Now to make some phone calls...:)

As detailed in this very good review:
