"The 90nm G72 will have a much smaller size than the 0.11-micron based G70 allowing for multiple GPUs to be utilized on one graphics card through SLI technology, providing an effective and attractive alternative to those who do not want to fork out money for two graphics cards, the sources claimed."

Maybe it will have 4 chip SLI? :eek: Sounds like Nvidia is up to some thing.
:D

[retsam]

dual core? that dont make a lick of sence!

[Kev1]

Wonder if that "dual gpu on one vid card" sli will work on a non-sli mobo like mine?

[Hex]

I do not think a new Nvidia card shocks anyone really, anyone who didnt expect one hasnt been in the game long.
What WILL shock me is if there is nothing (512 mb 7800 gtx) in the next two months.

SLI-on-a-card has been done already, hasn't it?

[bkswaney]

SLI-on-a-card has been done already, hasn't it?

Yes asus and a few others.

[ToxicTaZ]

Maybe its dual SLI setup from NVIDIA? Q1/2006

2 Video Cards in SLI X16 ;)

4 GPU's (Two GPUs on each card in SLI and the two cards in SLI) :eek:

1 nForce4 SLI X16 v2.0 chipset :rolleyes:

Thats just overkill and going too far if this proves true.

[Riptide]

Yes asus and a few others.
I wonder why noone ever brought any of those cards to market? Just wasn't cost effective?

[shabby]

Maybe they're talking about two cores on one chip since the size of the die will be so small on 90nm.

[SH64]

Sounds impressive .. thats a good reason for me to pass the X1800XT :p

[ToxicTaZ]

90nm GeForce 7 is going to be awsome :cool:

They did. But only a VERY few were made at a super
high cost.

Here is a pic of the new one. :)

At 489 core/1.35Ghz memory it's going to rock. Over 11k in 3DM05 and it's a GT. ;)

[Riptide]

But will they once again make just a very few of them...?

[Roadhog]

they should just take like a FX-57, and strap it on a Video card and call it good.

Card 1 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814125203)
Card 2 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814125196)

No idea what the difference between the two is, but one is $50 cheap than the other. :p

I don't understand why you need an SLI board to run a single card, that kind of defeats the purpose...

Those have been around for a while, but they haven't really been hugely successful as far as I know.



At any rate...

BRING ON THE 7600GT!

[GlowStick]

Hm, I think when they say multipule gpu's on one card mean more of a 2 cores on a chip package ala intel's dual core cpu, and kinda like the Pci express 6800's witch a seprate chip integrated onto the package.

[bkswaney]

I'm just going to use 2 GT's myself in SLI.
I'm going to use the eVGA 256-P2-N517-AX Geforce 7800GT.
They are clocked at 470 core and 1200 memory factory.
2 of these bad boys being pushed by a 3800X2 64 should
kick some @ss. ;)
Those eVGA cards can be had for around 350 each now.
So by christmas they should be around 300. :)
They r the highest clocked GT's for the $ I've found.
The heck with dual core cards. "lol"

[jAkUp]

Dual core cards are kinda a waste IMO.

Each GPU needs to write to the framebuffer, so, you could have 512mb of ram on a card, but only 256 is actually usable. Ram is very expensive, so it drives the price of the dual core card up... It works the same with SLI, but i'm just talking single vs. dual core.

You would be better off with a similar performing single card :)

[anzak]

These cards would be perfect for us S754 (NF4-4x) owners who would like to try SLI, but don't have two PCIe 16x slots. The only problem is that these cards require the NF4-SLI chipset which already has two PCIe 16x slots.

I guess its possible, but requires a modification to the chipset.

Dual-core (in the sense that Intel mean it) for GPUs makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, dual-core in the sense that AMD mean dual-core (multiple cores on a single die) makes even less sense than that! It doesn't really solve any of the problem facing GPUs, and it adds a whole pile of new ones.

These rumours have been floating around since DC CPUs came out, for the sole reason that people don't understand what DC does for a CPU, and why the CPU guys have gone multi-core at this point in time. It's the latest tech buzz-word, so suddenly everyone wants it for their graphics, because it must be good, right?

The fact that GPUs have been "dual-core"... multi-core even... for years now flies over many heads at 30,000ft. You have a 16-/24-"core" GPU in your PC *right now*.

One multi-die solution which *does* make sense is embedded DRAM, a la Xenos. But that's *not* dual-core, it's an MCM.

And don't forget about MSI Dual 6800 Ultra 512MB with heat pipes! :eek:

Look at the size of that monster! It'd be like having 2 mobo's in my lil ole p160:p

yes.... and look at the top of that card theres a SLI link too :eek:

thats makes it 4 6800U chip in SLI :confused:
