That's a monster :O

I wonder if ATi cards will be doing the same (now they have announced the ATi equivalent of SLi)

Has nobody made a Dual 6800ultra on one board yet?

Can you even fit that in a case? :x Damn its beatiful though. :E

Yes for both.

If you couldn't why would they make it?So again, yes it will in a case.

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

Why they make it? To be the first ones to of course

Umm.. Wow. That thing is a mammoth. I am sure those will cost upward ~$1000 a piece.

then why would you get that if you can go get an sli setup of 2 6800gts for only 800 bucks...it most likely wont be that much

Looks badass, looks fast, looks expensive.

Yes it is...it's mainly for the avid extreme computer type people...or something.

Which is why they're doing a limited run of them.

Do you not notice the size? The thing is huge. Largest video adapter on the market. Add the cost for the extra cooling, add the cost for manipulating both cores so they could work at an equal rate, and there you have it. A videocard worth ~$1000. I can't see it being any less especially since the 512MB 6800U is $1200.

It will easily be more than $1000.

Hmmm. That is incredibly overpriced. You can find that card for 870 dollars. And the cost for cooling shouldn't be that much, maybe even less than having two separate heatsinks for two cards. The money you'd save for not needing an sli motherboard would compensate.

Yes, you do still need a sli motherboard.

 

[bibble]

wow that thing is almost as big as my mobo

 

[giant384]

damn that thing is huge

 

[Icarusintel]

Yes, you do still need a sli motherboard.

then what's the point?

 

[Tr0n]

then what's the point?

Well...to prove they can do it like or be the first ones to do it like disturbed said.

Hell it's a good leap forward...the next step is to try and get two dual 6800's to work in SLI or whatever.

 

[giant384]

u would need a bad ass cooling system for that lol

 

[Gorgon]

huh, I didn't know that it was bigger than the actual mobo :O
