Both companies bring out dual GPU cards to fight for the performance crown, but with the imminent release of the 4870x2, I begin to wonder, will Nvidia be able to compete? Granted they have the most powerful single GPU card out there, but just look at the power requirements. Several websites didn't even bother trying dual GPU in conventional SLI as the power requirements were too high for most if not all commercially available consumer PSUs. Will this prevent them from producing a comparable dual GPU card?
So, I ask the forum, do you think Nvidia have shot themselves in the foot with such a monster as the GT200? Technology is slowly moving in the direction of multi GPU systems, has the crippling power requirements of the GTX280 prevented any possibility of a competitor to the 4870?
