Just seen this card on the net...

NVIDIA Geforce Duo 7900GTX 1024MB 2xDVI PCI-E
looks like this:

Is it the same as a 7950 GTX 2?

JonnyGLC · 17 Jun 2006 at 15:02

It's the 7900 GX2.

easyrider · 17 Jun 2006 at 15:04

I'm confused :confused:

7900 is the quad sli one, a lot longer PCB.

right now I'm really confused.....

I thought they were both quad sli?

Can the 7900 GTX2 be used on its own?

Another gimmick.

easyrider · 17 Jun 2006 at 15:11

Right,

so are they both the same cards then?
But one has a larger pcb?

please clarify.

What's to be confused about? It's the original Quad-SLI card, the one that is actually compatablie with Quad-SLI... The 7950 isn't being advertised as a Quad-SLi card...

It's GX2, not GTX2.

It's been out for ages.

easyrider · 17 Jun 2006 at 15:13

oh right ,

so they are both the same speed?

the 7900 GTX 2 and the 7950 GX2? :confused:

LoadsaMoney · 17 Jun 2006 at 15:15

Oh hang on, wasn't that the card that is now the GX2 as its been redesigned to what it is now or something, smaller etc...

Im sure ive seen a review and they compared the 2x and said that was the original design, but its now been turned into this the GX2 one we have now.

7950 is Quad SLi.

My head is hurting! :eek:

So does it only need one pci-e slot?

Are they the same speed?

Is it faster than a 7900 GTX single card?

LoadsaMoney · 17 Jun 2006 at 15:21

Im sure you can't get that card as its just the GX2, thats how it was, then they redesigned it to what it is today.

easyrider · 17 Jun 2006 at 15:23

I have just ordered one! :eek:

do the NV drivers support it?

LoadsaMoney · 17 Jun 2006 at 15:25

LMAO, what happened to the GX2 being a gimmick.

http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/geforce_7950_gx2_preview/ thats where they compare them, that card was its predecessor, it now looks like it is today, i think.

Ahh yes just seen A random name's post, i can't believe i got something else right, my head hurts now.

easyrider · 17 Jun 2006 at 15:29

I see,

I saw it for 268 quid inc and clicked order!
Shall I cancel?

LoadsaMoney · 17 Jun 2006 at 15:32

Up to you, your the one who said the GX2 is a gimmick, and a total waste, but then again £268 is a fantastic price. :eek:

Good luck getting it to fit in your case

Also, i don't think these work singularly?
