NVIDIA Working on GK110-based Dual-GPU Graphics Card?

[Boomstick777]

NVIDIA might be motivated to create such a dual-GPU graphics card based on its top-end GK110 chip, to counter AMD's upcoming "Volcanic Islands" GPU family, or so claims a VideoCardz report, citing sources.

With GTX780 on £500, so I'm guess it will be hitting £1200-£1300+ thus hitting new record high on price for a non-partner made custom consumer card?

I don't think they'll sell many at that price. I sure won't buy one.

Haha.

I wish I had Kaap's disposable income

Too slow if it ever sees the light of day.

With the GTX 690 the performance was close to 2 GTX 680s, with a dual GK110 card the performance will be well short of 2 GTX 780s.

The only thing I can see a card like this doing, is helping to sell HD 9970s by the bucket load at a third of the price.

Nice, will be interested to see what it turns out to be like. If it happens that is.

I do wish you'd post the links properly Boomstick.

I don't think it will happen.

I think the way to go would have been similar to the GTX 680 to GTX 770 route using GK104 chips.

Every time I post a link I get banned for hotlinking, they keep changing the rules it seems lol. Sometimes they say it's ok to link to an article or picture if it's uploaded to certain sites etc, but then other times ban without warning. I'm playing it safe now , not that difficult to replace the 'xx' with 'tt' if someone wants to read the full article. Hopefully someone at OCUK can clarify what is ok to link to and what isn't...

A CDN is not an imagehost, just so you know. I think I recall the image you got banned for hotlinking and IIRC it was on the gawkermedia CDN, which means the pic url was lifted from right-click -> properties.

It's easy to re-host pics: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/imgur-uploader/

They wont release one. Will be stupidly priced. Also a 7990 is allready a water boiler... I dred to think how hot 2x 780 would get on one card

I'll stick with the old ageing rusty crapper that is the 780 until a few months after the 8xx series comes out
