    I was reading about that over at Guru3d. How in the world are they going to be able to keep that inside the PCI-e power specs.

    That site has posted more bull. I'm not about to click on that link. That is one of the least credible rumor sites on the web. Do we really need a new thread based on a rumor from a site with such a horrendous track record?

    So in other words, you don't think they can be trusted

    Yeah, it took 12 months if not more for AMD to release a dual Tahiti. Now all of a sudden I'm supposed to believe that AMD has a dual gpu version of the most power hungry gpu that they've ever released right around the corner when they can't even keep up with demand for the single gpu variant. Yeah, ok.

    I really wish that people would stop posting links to bs sites like wcctech or whatever. They really don't deserve the traffic.

    lol, that website might be a baloney, but this IS the original source of the rumor, and i think it's quite credible, if we know the meaning of the word "RUMOR" is.

    I think what you should do next time is post from wccftechs original source links. I agree with bubbaboey that WCCFTEch doesn't deserve the hits when he just copies any rumors he can find from some other website.

    Give the original source the links, not wccftech's. By doing this, you will also find more evidence of the credibility of the rumor.

    Ahh, vrzone. Even better. I loved their dual IGP Intel cpu rumor. That was one of my favorites.

    I would be surprised if there were no plans for a dual GPU card, with the development pipeline required there are already engineers working on it or figuring out if its feasible.

    I agree, they've released a dual gpu version of every gpu that they've released in the past few years.

    I just have my doubts that its "coming very soon" or that wcctech or whatever has any "credible sources".

    I think it may be time to have a cook-off. People fried bacon and eggs using GTX 480s; $20 says you could actually create a whole breakfast with this monster!

    I for one am actually excited about such a monsterous piece of hardware. But then again I also have a 7990 just because I can. I think it would be ridiculous to assume Amd would use the same cooler to run s dual gpu card. I think a triple slot cooler like powercolor put on my 7990 would be awesome.

    @Ace
    I think you're just being a bit quick to jump the gun on people's comments.
    I'm looking forward to seeing it too but wccftech to start just looked really bad and well, the VR-Zone article seems to be like "No timeframe" and "Name not final" and "AIBs are upset with lack of info" so it's hard to say how this will materialize.
