So this is not the card used in the quad sli systems and it will be available to buy seperate?

Hmmm.....

Can someone post the specs? Link to the specs @ xtreme forums doesnt work.

I think the 7900GX2 is the card used for quad SLI systems. This I assume would replace it at the high end.

Nice pictures... here's some specs I found:

General specifications of MSI’s NX7950 GX2 graphics cards are very likely to be similar with the GeForce 7900 GX2/7950 GX2 boards: has two GeForce 7900-series graphics processors clocked at 500MHz along with 1GB of 1200MHz 256-bit GDDR3 memory (512MB per chip).

LOL - does anyone know if these are DX10 cards or are Nvidia milking the final few £s/$s out of the high end gamers pockets?

So they are basically two 7900GT's in sli? :confused:

But able to be used in a non SLi Rig?

well iirc the 7900 gt and gtx are the same chip just different clocks. the 7950 has 512mb of ram per board like the gtx though.

Slightly slower than a GTX SLI setup but then slightly cheaper as well if it's priced similarly to the 7900GX2. One of these in a case without many slots free actually makes a good alternative to normal SLI, a single 7950GX2 would leave room for an X-fi and an Ageia...a very nice gaming system imo.

Not really... its not as if they are forcing you to pay for it.

looks like these are capable of Quad-SLI

VR-Zone said:
Manufacturers have already started to get their 7950GX2 graphics cards from NVIDIA. These are the cards capable of Quad SLI. The lengh of these cards have been reduced to 22.5cm from the 33.5cm of the 7900GX2 cards first shown when NVIDIA displayed Quad SLI. The card will have an SLI bridge connector (not shown in the picture above) allowing users to SLI 2 of these for Quad. Specs of each card which consists of 2 boards: 500MHz Core and 600MHz GDDR3 1.4ns 512MB Memory on each board.

G80 is the DX10 card, they are just milking.

Sorry but 2 PCB's for one card makes my head spin.

Shocky-FM · 15 May 2006 at 18:59
