The OP is about an article which is listing as a source somebody forum post, well i hope they are right but I wonder if somebody forums post is worth a news thread.
Anyway there were same rumors about NVIDIA dual GPU card ready for November 2009 launch. Good I didn't believe such rumor and bought the HD 5970 otherwise one year later I would be still waiting for the NVIDIA dual GPU card.
Today the Fud has also an article "Nvidia's dual chip card waits for Antilles", the only problem is that Fud also predicted the dual Fermi launch for November 2009.
In today article he also says "Sources close to company are saying that Nvidia partners are more or less ready and that the company can pull a quick launch even in 2010, but it looks like it will only happen after AMD's Antilles Radeon HD 6990 dual chip card comes out"
First question, why wait for Antilles when so many people on this forum say how important is to have the cards ready for Christmas and nobody but AMD knows when in Q1 2011 we get the Antilles. I just hope AMD is not going to wait for Nvidia to come with the dual card first because in that case we will have them both just waiting.
The second question is, why the partners have to be ready if such cards comes from Nvidia or is it just some special limited edition by some of the partners not within the PCI-e standard limitations since such cards usually cost arm and leg.
