![]() | ![]() NVIDIA HAS BEEN TALKING publicly about Quad SLI for half a year now, and Quad SLI configs have been shipping for a few months in a select number of ultra-high-end PCs. Today, at long last, NVIDIA is unveiling a consumer version of its Quad SLI component card, the GeForce 7950 GX2. A single GX2 plugs into one PCI Express slot, but it actually has a pair of printed circuit boards, two GPUs, and two sets of memory chips onboard. By itself, the GeForce 7950 GX2 is an SLI setup on a stick, a dual-GPU powerhouse that fits into the same space as any other high-end graphics card with a dual-slot cooler. Slide two of these puppies into a system side by side, and you have the potential for Quad SLI--but not the reality, apparently, if you're just a lowly DIYer. - http://techreport.com/reviews/2006q2...2/index.x?pg=1 - http://www.bjorn3d.com/read.php?cID=925 - http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=5804 - http://www.hothardware.com/viewartic...leid=826&cid=2 - http://www.technic3d.com/?site=artic...=article&a=271 (German) - http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVIDIA/7950GX2 - http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/...0_gx2_preview/ - http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=256 - http://www.nvnews.net/previews/gefor...x2/index.shtml - http://www.guru3d.com/article/Videocards/353/ - http://www.hardwarezone.com/articles...?cid=3&id=1926 - http://www.pcinpact.com/link.php?url...%2F198%2F1.htm (French) - http://www.overclockers.co.nz/ocnz/r...00nv7950x20106 - http://www.gamepyre.com/reviewsd.html?aid=731&p=1 - http://www.motherboards.org/reviews/...re/1624_1.html - http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/200...950_gx2/1.html This card takes up no more space, draws no more power, and generates no more heat or noise than a Radeon X1900 XTX, but its performance is in another class altogether.

![]() | ![]() quite powerfull compared to other 'single' gpu systems, however people whbo wanna give 700 euro for a gpu, will probably own 7800 gtx of 7900 gtx or XF setups, so then it wouldn't be interesting. but quad setups could prove astonishing.... if there is actually a 35-40% increase here

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I wouldn't choose XFX for those cards, it seems RMA is really bad with XFX |
