Tom’s Hardware: Gigabyte creates first [nVidia] dual-GPU graphics card.
Here’s the real dirt in the article:
The card integrates two Nvidia GeForce 6600 GT graphics processors and is the first 6600 GT card on the market to offer a total of 256 MByte DDR 3 memory and 256 Mbit of memory bandwidth, according to the manufacturer. The card is cooled by two on-board fans.
The 3D1’s two processors communicate through Nvidia’s SLI interface and achieved 14,293 points in 3DMark2003, sources at Gigabyte said. This would not only be almost twice the performance of a regular 6600 GT card, but also more than ATI’s Radeon X850 XT Platinum Edition, which achieved in Gigabyte’s test environment 13,271 points and Nvidia’s GeForce 6800 Ultra, which posted 12,680 points.
They claim you’ll be able to get ahold of one of these beauties and a Gigabyte mobo for less than either a Radeon X850 XT or GeForce 6800 ultra alone.
Sweet.
