Ugh, another dual pcb slot card. Hate it :(
Hardly single board if its 2 with internal SLI
love or hate the design it's highly likely it'll blow your tits off!
Or melt your PC..
But it'll still suck at Crysis....
Hmm. So what will you be able to do with this card that you can't with a 4870 X2? Apart from swap it for a slightly newer second-hand car?
Damn them with there 8 pin power connectors :(, Got a 700 watt Seasonic PSU which could easy handle it but only has 4x 6 pin connections :(
290 watts.
For comparison, the hottest Intel CPU ever, the Irwindale Xeons (Prescott-based) were 130W
Nehalem is 130w too.
u guys think his gtx295 will out-trump the 4870x2
the 4870X2 has 1600 cores whilst the gtx295 only has 480...
yes...Quote:

it's irrelevant to just refer to shaders, it is the whole architecture.
Other than gaining the top dawg crown back...er...is there any use for this at this moment in time?
Alternatively the 4870x2 has 1600 cores while the gtx295 has 2400. You've got to compare like for like :pQuote:

When and if we see a dual-core GPU, with internal SLI (effectively) that doesn't require driver support to make games scale I think i'll be more convinced. Right now i've got nothing which doesn't run liquid smooth on my 280 at 1600x1200.Quote:
