Dual gpu cards aren't exactly new, you know. The Voodoo5 5000 was one such card as well as teh Voodoo5 6000, which never made it to the retail market.

nVidia, too, has had their own dual gpu cards.....the 7950 GX2, remember that one? Even before that, Asus had an Extreme N7800GT Dual card, putting two 7800 GT gpus on one card.

So, if anyone is cheating, it was Voodoo and nVidia, well before ATi began doing it......

I guess you never heard of the ATi Rage Fury Maxx which featured two Rage 128 Pro chips on the same PCB back in 2000. It even used Alternate Frame Rendering (AFR) back then which were superior to 3Dfx's SLI.

Ultimately the card sucked because of drivers, that's another story though.

yea like i said there will be two x2 cards one being the 4850x2 with 1gb ram and the 4870x2 with 2gb release date is 12 augest but only one thng bugs me is the heat of this card imo you could cook dinner :)
