   Geforce 7900 GTX Duo cards emerge
   
   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   NVIDIA has one more surprise up its sleeves for CeBIT. You all know that it will really announce its ghost Quad SLI systems. It won't be a Dell feature only; Nvidia will offer this monster to its other customers.
   
   Nvidia plans to introduce 7900 GTX cards with two chips per card. Those cards should fit and work with normal Nforce 4 SLI motherboards. This is Nvidia's well kept secret - at least it was.
   
   Normal Quad SLIs have four different graphic cards, especially designed by Nvidia. This new SLI will let you plug two new cards, each with two GPUs in your Nforce 4 SLI motherboard and it should work.
   
   Those cards will need a lot of power but it will be cool to read a review of such a powerful system. This is definitely going to be a price and performance Bugatti but if you have a million dollar house you can get Quad SLI as well.

3. Yeah the article is dated March 2nd, it's been known for a while. I think they get released on the 22nd of March.

4. nvidia was going to release a 1gb gtx around that date. i wonder if the dual gpu cards will have 1gb ram, or if there will be single gtx cards with thismuch ram.

5. Who can afford a 2000$+ graphics sub-system?

6. Something hints at me that these aren't going to be cheap because they know people wont buy their SLI dual card systems and that they'd rather purchase a single dual card for cheaper.... which potentially means less sales on their new nvidia sli chipsets ;)
   
   
   For instance, say a 7900GTX is $550 now x2 = $1100, and the dual card was $850... so they won't be making as much money.
   
   I'm going to be the odd ball again and assume at least $1,000 - 1,300 for this card. I'm probably way off but thats the only thing that would make sense to me. The dual 7800GT's which sold for $300 each was $850 for the dual gpu card a while ago.

7. You'll need SLI chipsets to run even one dual card. The ultra (non SLI) boards don't have the features that allow the two GPU's to communicate. Just like how you can't run those Asus dual cards on an ultra.

   I could have sworn I read somewhere them mentioning that it opens up doors to those who don't have SLI systems :confused:
   
   
   Even if you are right, they would still be moving less product and a smaller revenue.
