GAINWARD 7900GX2 1GB DDR3 - Quad SLI

One of my fav local retailers in OZ, has preorders on Gainward 7900GX2 1GB dual gpu video cards for quad sli http://www.auspcmarket.com.au/show_p...gory_id]=1425] :slobber: :slobber: :slobber: :slobber:

AUD$1381 x 2 = AUD$2762 = US$2072 :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Does this work on DFI NF4 UT SLI-DR ? :D

nah won't have the money for it hehe

BS it will work in the SLI-DR. Read up any regular videocard - it says needs 16x as well.

is it possible to use just 1 card, and get the performance of 2 7900GTX?
03-21-2006, 05:59 AM
eva2000

probably won't get same performance as 2x 7900gtx due to

1. default lower clocked
2. puny heatsink cooling GPUs
3. lack of ability too properly cool the inner gpu

but it will work to use ONE card on a non sli board and get gooooood performance?

you'll need an SLI board orelse you're in for some driver hacking

you'll be very very tight WCing the inner GPU. Looks like overclocking is basically out of question. plus you have a lower default clock (and voltage, you'll be very tight vmodding the top GPU). The specs of the quad SLI 7900gtx are lower then then 7900gt (per core). Marketting just had to have them name their high end 7900gtx, when the specs are closer to those of a 7800gtx.

dude, the Firegl series are the equivalent of the Quadro series...

Can't compare that to the GX2s :rolleyes:
03-21-2006, 04:27 PM

I just wish they made the 7900GTXs lower in price...

Two 7900GTXs would do better then one 7900 GX2, IMO...

P.S.
Anyone know if the Enermax Noistaker Allin1 600W PSU will take on
2 x 7900GTXs?

the nda for this vga ends tomorrow, so i sholud get some pictures and specs

Metro that sounds great :)

Though I am still convinced that no one really needs any more than a 7900GT SLI setup to enjoy the best of games out there at the highest resolutions.

I was talking to a guy over a MonarchComputer and he was saying they were going to be getting the parts for quad sli soon and they were going to setup a machine with it.

Were the 3DMarks for the last quad sli (7800) setup good or was that setup differently (i.e. 4 cards instead of 2 dual cards)?

Dude, get a life, not everything is about nvidia vs ati, this ati card isn't even remotely simlilar to the GX2 and has absolutely nothing to do with this topic.

1 GB of memory? My Ipod nano has also 1GB of memory, maybe I should mention that too?

get a life??? who said that its ATI vs Nvidia or that they are similar cards ???

im 27 years old , you dont see me in that stupid fights Nvidia vs ATI ;)

1 person JUST post that ATi also launch a 1gb card and next there is always someone with replys like that : "" Get a life , this is not ATI vs NVIDIA , bal bla bla "" when no one said that , or something with that meaning

whatever , so get your 1GB Ipod and be very hapy:toast:
