So the memory is 1280mb x2?
I'm a little confused by the description.
If I understand it right, FUD is implying a 580x2? OMG, this is getting really interesting and confusing now.Quote:

so what is it??? dual 560?? or dual 580 .... LOL
1GB total memory? WHAT?
Yeap - that's my guess too :cool:Quote:

Take a look a the back of the card:Quote:

Notice the area which coresponds to the position of the two GPUs. Now compare to:
570: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/A.../back_full.jpg
460: http://www.hardwareheaven.com/review...x-460_back.jpg
Which is more likely? :)
Someone commenting on the Fudzilla link says "EVGA mentioned GF11x - they did't specifically say GF110"… interesting.Quote:

FUD? lolQuote:

It's GF114 in all likeilihood
Stop the dreaming: that chip configuration TechPowerUp makes no sense. How do you have 4 on one side then 8 on the other without those traces/soldering points anyways?Quote:

Besides, 12 chips is 1536 MB, 10 is 1280, which TUP wrote incorrectly. Besides, the back side pins say it all:

Game, Set, and Match for Zarzax .... oh what a failcard :pQuote:

Maybe if we could see the back of a 114 based card.
it's probably a "classified" card with custom drivers for quad-sli, like the GTX285 "classified"Quote:

A good reason for don't use the GF110, is the cost, 2x 580 chips will bring a big price on the cards, then the clock, with lower chips, they can clock it alllready well, and keep some room for overclocking...
What I see is a useless product.
Since it is clearly not 2x GTX580, it will be bu** f**ked by 6990, worse then shower scene from American History X...
What annoys me is...
AMD clearly has a leap that they can actually make products that does not require a powerplant for working, allowing nice multi GPU products... Yet still, having this leap over nvidia, no one has come up with the bright idea "Why not start optimizing for 8 GPU?"..
Who on gods earth would ever want to buy 4x GTX580 if being able to use 8 GPU's from AMD? (4x dual GPU) Answer is simple; Marketing department from nvidia, would be useless to each and every other living person on planet earth...
If its a 4 GB, 2 GB effective card, it can still have uses. Would be a good folding card or cuda or tesla card on the cheap.
1. The market for this would less than 0.001%.Quote:

I really do hope that this card will have at least more than 2.5GB of memory, because 1GB per core just isn't cutting it anymore.
Hitches that are to be overcome with ease.Quote:

My 2x HD5870 SOC kind of disagree...Quote:

I agree! I have been looking to upgrade from a GTX 295 Single PCB and have been waiting for the next nVidia Dual GPU monster.Quote:

Who knows, maybe nVidia are doing to do a new SKU, perhaps a GF110 with 448 pipes per GPU.
Remember nVidia did that with the GTX 295 and then released the 275 afterwards. I might be wrong, but essentially a GTX 295 is two GTX 275's on one card with a slightly lower clock rate to reduce power consumption and thermal limitation.
I really really do hope that we see a 448piper with ~2GB per GPU. I keep thikning that IF the GTX 295 had 1.7GB per GPU it would have been a monster card, instead of a fast card.

AMD are not the ones that would waste resources on that. nVidia is the company for PR Stunts.Quote:

Not before PCI express 3.0-4.0, more lanes for the GPU's, and with faster CPU's. This will be bottleneck in all parts...
Good point.Quote:

huum do you think to an Evga quad-8 SLI dual CPU classified based on socket 2011 ? I try imagine the beast with 2x 6 cores on it.
