Photos of GeForce GTX 280 graphics card

Heh, nvidia first thumbs its nose at ati for making the r700 a dual gpu card because gt 200 is a single gpu card, and now they've decided to stop making single gpu high ends
pictures are kinda small though, can anyone with and 8800gtx/ultra confirm that this isn't simply a g80 gpu?

i dont understand why manufacturers are pushing for dual core GPUs, all this will bring is a loss of high end performance due to scaling issues.

I'm thinking the reason for this is because they want to dominate the physics market as well now, cause they are so mad at Intel. and dual GPU cards are really the way to go for that. That and I think they are starting to hit performance walls with their single chips now, not performance walls as in cant go any faster/higher, but performance wall in a marketing since, the better the single chip gets the longer it takes to improve the next go around, multi gpu's make this process much easier.
