Thats cool but there is no point now. Ati is way too late in the game for this one. Still, good find :up: .

I read it was going to be like $400USD. Like it matters though, it doesn't have dx10.

Is this the first card with two processors on one board?

No Gigabyte had a dual 6600gt I think.

Can you imagine having dual 8800GTX on one board and then having that in a SLI setup?

lol

Quad graphics and one? Finally a use for the 2kw power supply lol. That thing would be so hot you could cook on the heatsinks off one of those cards.

Jeez, can you even imagine the cooling for one of those? A fan certainly wouldn't do it unless you had separate fans for each one. But even then you would surely run into problems. The solution? Ultra Extreme Water Cooling. Using arctic silver as the coolant. lol

Wait... I just had a thought...

...Nah. lol
