Fastest single Graphics card in the world

[sacha35]

[FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica]DailyTech earlier reported that consumers will have to wait a little while longer for the 7950GX2 QUAD SLI adaptor, but details of the card were not revealed. We already know that the card should be the fastest single card video card solution available on the market. Today we take a further look at the specifications of the NVIDIA GeForce 7950GX2 video card.[/FONT]

Its not a single card though is it? its 2 cards in one so its not the fastest single card in the world.

Yee, but it's still using only one PCI-E slot and will be faster then any another card 8).

But its not a single card solution. A Single card solution is just that - one pcb not 2 saddle backed

Instead of pushin multiple cards how about dual gpu cores or making them more efficent

At £480 for one card which can be used with any mobo using a single x16 PCI-E slot.

You could say technically it's two cards and I would agree.

I think the correct term is multi GPU single PCI-E solution.

That would definately be the wiser option for graphics card companies, but at the same time, buyers want to see something impressive for their money. The 7800 and 7900 series cards have been good partly because they`re big, heavy, and makes ya feel like you`re actually buying something for yer £400 (or however much ya spend)

Dual-core cards are still realistically boo big for a single PCB: about the size of the 7800GT Dual, and usee too much power (though the new tech node will help)

£700 for an FX CPU or EE feels kinda disappointing..its a square inch of metal and SemiCon

Dual cored GPU's can and will work in a suitably sized package - if not G80 and RD600 certainly the generation after that (G90 and RD700 not revisions of the upcoming cores).

I think 65nm will see 1st such introductions though - we only just moved to 90nm in GPU's its realistic to assume that next year will be the year, but 45nm is where it will be at it's most efficient sometime in 2009
