nVidia Geforce 7950 GX2 Video Card Launched - Benchmarks Inside
 
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.

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

$650, if you're Senile, why not go for it :)

local store hasx them in stock for 630, and the xfx overcloceked for 670, but not if it can't do quad sli yet, my dual 7900 gtx is faster than this...

that board doesn't do quad SLI

The Senile Doctor 6th June 2006 08:25

that board doesn't do much at all :)

I wouldn't choose XFX for those cards, it seems RMA is really bad with XFX
