Dual GPU would be very much this generation in my opinion.pawned again. Just gine back and read the nvidia stuff and he said said next generation chip.
But that would lead you down the route that it isn't a dual card hybrid jobbie?

NVIDIA aims for 3 TFLOPS with next high-end GPU
Written by Andreas G 09 October 2007 13:08
GeForce 9800 will be a monster. Not that I think that this statement surprises you the least bit, but we were told by a friend that the next high-end GPU will not only sport double the performance of the ATi R680, but actually triple the performance. The card "R680" is suppose to have two RV670 chips side by side on a single PCB and be able to output around 1 TFLOPS. This is the next high-end card from AMD/ATI, but we should not forget about R700 which is due this Spring. G92 or whatever we should call it, is also slated for launch until Spring. When we first heard about the 3 TFLOPS it was too early for us to actually believe them, but it seems that NVIDIA is still telling its partners that 3 TFLOPS is what they will be getting.
Decisions ... was going to get an 8800 (ultra if can be found at decent price, GTX if not) in a few weeks .... do I hold out for 9800 or whatever they will call it, or not![]()
And before anybody pawns me about my other statement about doubling of gfx power, from Toms Hardware page (I know not every rates it but where else can you find a comparison of a 6800 and 8800?) and new drivers have probably increased the gap as well.
3dmark06 sm2 1600 x 1200:
6800 Ultra: 338
7800 GTX: 1268 275% increase
8800 GTX: 3212 158% increase
3dmark06 sm3 1600 x 1200:
6800 Ultra: 676
7800 GTX: 1573 132% increase
8800 GTX: 2801 78% increase
6800 Ultra: 768.2 fps overall
7800 GTX: 1516.7 fps overall 97% increase
8800 GTX: 2281.9 fps overall 50% increase
So why shouldn't the trend for each new generation be double the old one?
And for the record Moores law was a doubling of power every year not every two years.
For the record, Moore's law stipulated that transistor density will double every year, it was later adjusted to every 18 months.
