According to Toms Hardware Gigabyte's made a dual-GPU graphics card that gets 14200~ on 3DMark03 and is cheaper than the X850XT PE and the 6800 Ultra

Big ups to Gigabyte for trying something new and making so good use with with SLI technology.
I just thought it would've been interesting if it were so you could use two of these in SLI once again...4 GPUs...=o :P

Shit that's going to run hot.

Lol I didn't think of that.

Now I did think of that... I don't think it'd be possible though because I think that they're already using the thing that connects the two cards inside the one card or something I dunno it might be possible... That'd be pretty awesome having 4 GPU's... But even if it did work I think it'd probably explode... I guess then it wouldn't work... So it wouldn't be possible :P

It seems a little to sus, since a normal setup of SLI 6600GT can't get that much, although if it is true, good for Gigabyte. Althought it only seems to be 3D Mark, would be more interesting if it was from a few games.
I thought about running two of these in a set up but there wouldn't be that much room in the case / you'd be lucky not to fry your whole comp.

Ok, THAT'S my replacement video card. :woot:
That should take out the past 2 weeks, and next weeks pay. :P

I hope so because I love my Radeon too and I'd like to keep it that way for a while... :P

Note how this is only says 3D Mark 03 score, no game scores.
Now if they provided game scores, then we may have something to worry about, but it is a synthetic benchmark, and we don't know what system they were testing it on.

Well the think hasn't even been offically announced yet man:

I doubt their sources could remember all the benchmarks (and settings they used) for all the games they tested.
I'm sure when it's offically released, Gigabyte will show us some more benchmarks. ;)

UPDATE: Toms Hardware Guide have put the card up against some of the other SLI solutions, and some of the 1 GPU setups:

I think the best thing that came from this is the introduction of the concept which has alot of potential in the future; though, it is probably not quite 'there' yet.
