well limit 5 per customer any one wants to give me a xmas present?

[Mr. Tinker]

Really, I need 6 for my 3 machines. Can someone help me out here?

[cyron1]

:slobber: I thought there were only like 200 of these made for like hardware testing purposes

[Cooper]

there are only 2000 made for the whole world :)

[DilTech]

Honestly, for like $20-$30 more you can get 2 7800gtx's...

[perkam]

Two of these would look better and be much cheaper: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814150124 .

This is such a hard decision. I'm seconds away from buying two, if these were GTXes I wouldn't even have a choice. GTs make it hard.

2 of these sweet you can even do 4 sli :sloober:

[nn_step]

Darn.. Right after I picked up a Pair of X1800Xts..
Hopefully they don't sell out too quickly...

[Dumo]

Can 2 of this card run SLI with sli-dr mobo?

[craig588]

I belive so, each "board" will only be getting 4 PCI-E lanes though.

[BRiT]

Can 2 of this card run SLI with sli-dr mobo?

I dont believe so, at least there isn't any physical SLI connector on that ... but it could do the transfers over the PCI-Express bus, if the software drivers are coded to do so.

[[XC] leviathan18]

if you check thg you will see is possible

[revenant]

those look like the bat mobile of video cards. heh... crazy! I wonder what the system overhead will be like with two of those duallies running in "quad" SLI... whew.. can you say "bottle-neck" ?? ;)

[nn_step]

I dont believe so, at least there isn't any physical SLI connector on that ... but it could do the transfers over the PCI-Express bus, if the software drivers are coded to do so.

It's possible but there are no drivers that do that yet...

[Nanometer]

Two of these in SLI is crazy power draw. You would need an 850 watt PSU for a fully loaded system I bet..

Actually they should include an external Power attachments

Now honestly, what moron wrote in the 5 per customer limit.. If someone buys 5 of those things for their own personal use, their credit card should be revoked and they should be oaper cut to death with 100 dollar bills.

[Movieman]

It's possible but there are no drivers that do that yet...
I think Tom's hardware did this with 2 of them a week or so ago..must still be on the site... www.tomshardware.com

[nn_step]

and I quote

It's possible...

[Hicks]

yay, 2 of these please, i wanna spend over a grand on 2 video cards, and see about 60% performance from them.

[Dr_at_Home]

Ordered 2!


This is more of a collectors thing i'm assuming, since only 2000 of them will ever be made?:p:

[MaxxxRacer]

your not serious Dr at Home?? are you?

[Dautonico]

If it is being sold to the big public so Nvidia or ASUS will have to support it on the drivers....

[Dr_at_Home]

your not serious Dr at Home?? are you?Nahh, the ASROCK 939DUAL only has 1 PCIe slot.:p:

I want a GTX512 though

Bingo

[alpha_tot]

When does the gigabyte quad sli board hit the shelves? If you can afford two of these, you can probably afford 4.

[CrashOv3r1De]

This is quite funny, they are so expensive that they are still in stock lol

How much higher do they score in 3dmark 05 as compared to standard gtx512
