Default Gigabyte creates first dual-GPU graphics card

Chicago (IL) - Gigabyte will announce Friday the industry's first graphics card running two graphics processors on one board. According to sources, the SLI card will lift current 3DMark2003 record revels by a significant margin while being priced lower than ATI's and Nvidia's single-GPU high-end cards.

Ati created the Rage Fury + some specialized cards with two or more GPUs, 3Dfx did it with their latest creation, XGI does it....

Well, not so uncommon after all

Besides, they develop that kinda technology because they find SLI technology less productive then 2 GPU's on a card...
