As said above .................. If someone will front me the $$$ I will gladly review it for the forums . I'm thinking of the greater good and the advancement of science and overclocking ;)

umm how exactly would that work?
Planning on inventing a 4agp slot mobo?

[XyKo]

actually I think they rebuild the card or lin kall 4 cards to one agp slot. damn by then that will kill all the new cards that comes out next year!

I dunno I wish I had the dough to find out ................... likely will only have professional 3d driver support . I doubt it will run d3d games , may work in Open Gl though .

Apparently there will be a version with 2 gpus on one card and another with 4 on one card . Well at least someone is using the AGP 8x bandwidth .

Remember the Voodoo5? (I've got a V5 5500 PCI :D) Two GPU's on one board?

Same thing, just 4 of them, and this time, it's 9700Pro's :eek: :eek:

Let's see.....the infamous V5 6000 had 4 GPU's and it needed a wall socket.....the REGULAR 9700Pro needs a floppy connector....hmmmmmm.....might need to hook this thing up to a Hemi to jump start it :D

Yea, i remember reading another article about it last week, and theres actually a company that already has put 8 9700 Pro GPUs on one board. (and yes, these cards are strictly for professional 3d graphics design)

hmm.... man i whanna see the 3dmarks one of those gets just for fun.

Very interesting stuff.

[stopdrpnro]

lol haven't basically all 2x gpus flopped? the most popular thing like that was the dual voodoo2's . don't u guy remember the all mighty(riiight) rage fury maxx

[IR1]

no cause those sucked before they put 2 gpu's on em.

[Stumpjumper5200]

IR1 - LOL!!!! hehe.....so true.

8 R9700Pro's on 1 board!? SWEET!

Now what do you mean only for professional 3d graphics design!??!?!?!! I plan on getting one (with either a lot of money, or with a sawed off shotgun :D)........hmmmm, now I wanna watecool it....OMG 8 waterblocks ROFL!

Now seeing how it's a 9700Pro, made for gaming, not one of those lumbering number crunchers like nVidia's Quadro, I suspect 3Dmark would be pretty sweet on that :D

In theory at least :D

[stopdrpnro]

lol my point was that even w/ 2 gpus the rage fury maxx sucked

[Stumpjumper5200]

Well, yeah, but suck + suck does NOT = good

If you put 2 Geo Metro 1-liter 3cylinder engines together, does that make a great engine, HECK NO! It'll still suck!

2 wrongs don't make a right :D

Dual cpu cards take too much power, dont OC well, unstable and not made for games. all have flopped
