Thats sweet.

ONly down side would be just seeing the huge price tag on it I'd bet.

If it had flash memory it would be better. I still like it

 

[EmAn]

umm..... who wants to buy me two of these?

Seriously... they are taking the same route as cpu's... if you cant make them faster then put more on!

it is getting rediculous!!!

Why would a company ever use flash memory on a graphics card? It's slow, not to mention a limited life cycle.

Huh?

I have a feeling the price tag wont be too much more than the Gx2's ridiculous debut tag (if it's even that much), and this card has one more core.

When are we going to see dual core gpu's?

 

[sajberTim]

Ha ha, this is getting wild... but sweet

 

[Firestrider]

Yeah, I saw this card this morning

I'm guessing the price tag will be around $650-700 because it comes with a water cooler.

What's amazing is ASUS put it on one PCB.

That card looks ugly but its a cool concept.

In the current system actually GPU's at least ATI's are multi cored.

For what your saying, an acutal dual core GPU, would be far too costly to the manufacture. The dies are so big that if one core crapped out it would cost an arm and a leg per chip that did this.

 

[Hardin]

Yeah gpus are already parallel and have "blocks" of shaders. In a way you could say they are already multi core although this wouldn't be entirely correct.

Dam that thing looks evil

I'd buy one at that price

That thing must get hot, even with watercooling...

 

[Goonda]

Sadly, driver and software support is lagging far far behind.

That beast is insane! ... me wants one

I think it looks bad ***....comes with watercooling unit that fits into the 5.25 bays...freakin awesome imo http://www.nordichardware.com/news,7543.html

Agreed, there should be some sort of 3rd party organization that doesn't even let you release a GPU unless the drivers are perfect for it's launch.
