    cause as most r concerned and nvidia has never brought a gpu which is a pair of its top notch chips ... gtx295 was also never a 2x285gtx ...
    may be another contender can be 2x570gtx ...
    but making a 2x580gtx doesnt make sense from marketing point of view ... a pair of downclocked 512sp chips which will be giving enventually the horsepower equal to 2x488 sp chips then y use a full gf110???
    apart from that ... can a vapour chamber cooling handle a 400w+ combo with a dual slot width of cooler???
    The ares is a 436w part http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/ARES/29.html

    the cooler works fine. scroll down in this link

    Nvidia was staying within pci-e spec and underclocked their dual gpus with full spec chips, but used bad cooling designs so the temps were high.

    The whole point of the dual gpu setups is to target the high end market for those that want more power out of their gpus to run resolutions like mine of 2560x1600. That is why I own a 5970.

    Saying it can't be done is different from can they actually do it. Nvidia could do it they would just need to put more R&D into getting it done right to meet the user's demands of the target segment.
