I can't believe they put that fugly POS on display at Cebit and were proud of it.. You're right, it does look like something from the 80's. If I wasn't so far away, I'd go there myself and check it out.

Only 2 DVI and a HDMI ouput... sucky
Better than 2DVI and 1 S-video imo
they'll probably release a version with 4DVI and 1HDMI later

Looks like something out of Space Odyssey ... like it will try to kill me if something doesn't go its way.

NVidia lets you run multimonitor in SLI now?

What dissapoints me the most is that we again have a sandwiched dual GPU card (same as 7950GX2), why on earth are they not taking it the next step having dual GPU's on one PCB, that where IMO AMD has had the insight and possibly the upper hand this round.

I agree. This is an enthusiats card and this nVidia dual PCB design makes aftermarket cooling (both water and air) more difficult and expensive, vs the AMD 3870 X2 design.
The picture of this card reminds me of a TommyBoy quote. It looks like nVidia took a "dump in a box and mark(ed) it guaranteed."

I agree as well, I like the idea of mixing and matching any HD3000 series card in any x-fire configuration.
Is Nvidia even close to being able to do this? Mixing and matching any G92 core GPU would be insane.

That can't be right and/or functional. The fan grill is half overlapping the card and empty space...

It looks like a turd with DVI ports and an HDMI connector right now

the way the gx2 is supossedly setup is there is one heatsink sandwiched between 2 cards.. both cores and components that need cooling (ram and vregs also) face inward twords the center of the card.

Not great especially at the retail price I heard ($599?). Think I'll just pick up a G92 GTS.

My 2 cents: It looks functional and that's good enough for me. I know the 'pimp my PC' types with glowing windows and UV reactive slime running in hoses inside their machines won't be excited by it, but this will appeal to those of us who prefer something a little more 'grown up,' at least if they leave it simple like that. Remove the logos, even.
As for the connectors, I'm just gonna be using a DVI->VGA adapter anyway

Mr.Guvernment,
QFT. Palit makes some nice cards for sure. I think if people started buying Palit products, then we'd have a nice little race on our hands amongst evga, palit, and bfg

Well no wonder they have heat issues, where is the heat suppose to go if it gets trapped between 2 PCB's
Well my OC'd 8800GTS gets close to 16 k with a dualie
