Oh ok, good to know. Thanks for the information. I am now smarterer.
 
And I have an elevated level of consciousness because I can make the woman swing both ways...AND stare at her tits.
 
I am 26 by the way, and still enjoy the juvenile excitement of animated boobies.  

ATI is not in for it bad, they'll just release a competitive card and nothing will change.

 
 
Yea, but have you watched the spinning lady?
 
We cannot draw any conclusions from your terse statement until we know if you are right or left brained.

My understanding of the GX2 concept was basically a RAIDed GPU, the machine sees it as one card, but is actually 2 working together.  I realize that at some point in the BIOS and system management it will see both, but as far as the interface is concerned, it sends data to one card, gets data back from one card.  
 
I'm waiting for the dudes with deep pockets to post a triple-double pics and benchmarks of this card on the 780i when they hit the marketplace.  It's interesting, hopefully it fares better than the 7950gx2's did...

Sorry, I didn't understand that.

So Nvidia is releasing a chip with 2 GPUs on it, and not a dual core GPU? Why not go dual core?

There's a radio in my fingernail... CAR!!!

There's some stupid picture online that's animated... an optical illusion if you will... and some people believe it's spinning clockwise while others see it as going counterclockwise. Supposedly, this "test" determines if you're right or left brained.

8800GTS 512mb are dual slot anyway, they can be made singe slot I also expect the ATI dual card will be able to too which will be nice for some.
 
 
But really today for most things I cant see how dual slot vrs single lot is a problem if you can afford to buy this card you'll be able to afford a bigger case that can take them.
 

is nvidia milking the g92 or are they having issues with the gtx version?

 
Don't feel bad, I noticed it too.

If I can just drag this back to boring video card discussion
I think nvidia may have dropped a bollock here....
I bought my GTX a few months back, so why the hell am I going to want to go to a new 9*** card?
It's going to be an absolute waste of time, and the performance gains are going to be minimal....
If it is just a die shrunk 8800GTS G92 then it is just going to be a hot & power hungry monster no worse than a GTX/Ultra. I'll just buy another GTX and SLi them I think.
ATi have a real chance with the dual 3850/3870 to make an impact on the enthusiast market, if it scales well (as CF obviously does, and is obviously supported by many more chipsets) and can offer good performance I reckon, they'll sell them by the bucket load.  
It'll certainly be interesting to see what happens

Me thinks Nvidia is cheap I do.Easyly they could have gone for gpu shrink like AMD did and push there tech skills farther by single or multi gpu on pcb.I see a smackdown by AMD or at least a serious rumble when R700 shows up

 
 
Apparently you did not read the entire thread. Shame.

i wouldnt buy a new card til they have a performane boost of over 50% of what i have got at the time had an 8500 gt moved up to a 8800 g92 gts so i'll be sticking with this card for a while yet.

Untill ATi comes out with something that blows Nvidia out of the water, Nvidia is just going to sit on what they have, bump it up little by little and bleed the consumer out of as much money as they can.

 
 
its working i just upgraded my 8800GTS 640mb to 8800GTS 512mb - i paid to down grade!

I just hope R700 comes and beats the **** out of 9800GX2.
 
If R700 releases, what will Nvidia have to compete against it? Already the 3870X2 is supposed to compete with the 9800GTX..
