Either way it looks to be a complete piece of crap. CAN BE 30-50% faster, that just isnt acceptable in my book. Either they call this the 8800GX2 or they can get screwed because its not next gen so doesnt deserve the 9 series name

HD3870X2 4tw!
I am aware that a GPU core is made up of many cores.
I would like to see 2 of the cores that are made up many cores on one card.
How hard could it be to take 1GB of memory, and 2 of the already existing compilation of cores side by side?
:P
It would be a flagship card for sure.
But, how much of the market is Xtreme users like us?
So that thingy is supposed to outperform the ultra and still costs 450 bucks ,,, will we see a 400$ Ultra before the 9800 release
fake, i doubt nvidia would bother with a POS like this.
with the pcie conclusion, this has got to be fake...
how can the asian sites not get pics before [H]?
I don't get it... even 2 gts g92 cards should defeat an ultra.
How about 2 ultras in sli vs this card?
2 people beating up one person is not a fair fight ;)
You can guarantee 2 Ultras in SLI will destory this card. You can also pretty much guarantee that the Quad SLI drivers for this card will be absolute crap so these SLI'd wont beat the Ultras in SLI
So the performance of this in SLI will still be limited in XP? The DX9 limitations of the old GX2 series couldn't be overcome in XP. You will need to switch to Vista's DX9 to get some benefit out of 2 of these.
Where is this product supposed to shine if you already have an SLI capable board? Why would you get this over 2 faster discrete cards?
On a side note, is the renewed interest in Quad and Tri setups and driver optimizations going to make the 7950GX2 a sought-after card again?

yeah that'd be an amazingly elaborate fake. these are real people.
Does anyone in the Uk know how much the old 7950GX2 blocks cost when they were released ?
I want to watercool my next highend card and as crap as this one is going to be it looks like i have no option because my GTO is not going to last much longer.
People Please Note they do not have 2 SLi Connectors, So they can't be In tri-SLi (Octa-Sli)
Octa? 3 * 2 = 6 right? :shrug:Quote:

This card will be using the G92-400-A2 core.Same modified core of 8800GT/S.
And the 9800GTX will replace the 8800GTX and is just a 65nm die shrink.
The only new thing is that it has HDMI,no more...
Why do they announce it like next generation?
i thought hex was 5?Quote:

I already covered these, It can't support Tri-Sli / Hexa-SliQuote:
