It's not really 3GB though is it? *If* (an absolutely monstrous if) they put to GF110 GPUs on one PC, I don't think anyone would have expected anything other than 1.5GB*2 really.
A 6990 should have 4GB of RAM (2*2GB really) which isn't anything special. Your 5870 2GB has more RAM than this "595".

Good luck powering that ****er!
Out of curiousity, who would actually really benefit from seeing 3GB Video RAM?
I cannot at all see it from gaming? Would you ever hit that? In what kind of environment will you start to move towards using 3 gigabytes? I would think that two gigabytes might be overkill at this point, but I guess there are uses that I have not considered?

so how much would it cost £700?
Your soul, dignity and £800.
It's not 3GB though, it's 1.5GB*2. So essentially just 1.5GB of actually usable RAM.
When that's on full load you'll be able to hear it in Antarctica
You wouldnt even be able to see antarctica due to it melting

I dunno, the power circuitry compared to a 580gtx seems pretty, condensed shall we say.

Then you've got a lot of older pictures of duallie 470gtx pcb's that never ended up as real products.

I'm not convinced yet, lots of design idea's end up not being released, of course it looks like a longer gap between 580/680gtx than the 480/580gtx so Asus and co might have been able to do it but not be able to get them out/available in time for it to be worthwhile.
Problem is we had the same rumours, and the same pcb shots floating around for GF100 based cards so I'm not taking for granted the fact it will be made.
Also worth noting again the power circuitry on the 580gtx, and dual 470gtx cards looks, well, comparable per core, IE, BEEFY. The newer pcb looks pretty weakass, but then also half way between the proposed 460gtx dual cards that had some pcb's made up but never hit retail.
Maybe this will end up a dual 560gtx card, with 384 shaders rather than 336 shader dual card, meh.
Problem is I'm sincerely doubting AMD can make a dual 6970 and really get its power to not be ridiculous, which makes believing a dual GF110 in any situation could do the same.

got to agree with this, if the power requirements of the GTX580 are anything to go by and the power figures sugested by the AMD slides then dual gpu cards from either side are going to be very difficult to get right.

and then there is always going to get someone trying to sli that card, since the connector is there, i guess tri sli would be stupid, but who knows...
As it's a dual gpu card the max you can probably do from a DX gaming perspective will be 2 of them in Quad / 4-way sli or whatever it's called now. Put in a 3rd for physx. Does physx avail of dual gpu cards ? And I suppose you could put 4 of them into your motherboard to do some folding from time to time
