GeForce GTX295 Card Exposed

LOE quit being a hater. The initial bench's look nice. Performance will only improve with newer drivers. I think TRI 280 SLI and Quad 295 SLI are going to be neck and neck however. The only reason to switch would be for lower power consumption or to free up a slot. I'm not sure how well these will overclock due to the thermal dynamics of the whole thing.

I am not a hater, I already said the 965 will have better performance and power consumption than the radeon x2

It's just lame making two separate cards and selling them as one piece of hardware

So If I take 2 GTX280 and glue them together with epoxy glue - will this make it ONE CARD? Nvidia pretty much did exactly the same thing, only used screws instead of glue

Nvidia made the 9800GX2 that way and they made this one this way. The Die on the chip is to big to put it on one PCB. Thermodynamics just does'nt allow for such a thing when you take into account off the other stuff they need on a pcb to run this G200 Core.

Some people like dual GPU solutions and it's good nvidia did finaly awnser to the 4870X2 with the 295. I dont think it's lame or a desperate attempt but rather a attempt to reach a certain market. Why are you hating on the design of it when it worked well with the 9800GX2?
