I think it will since they might have a Quad SLI version for it99Ram2500 wrote:
Awesome card. They put it around equal to two 7900GTs in SLI, or a good performance increase over a 7900GTX.
Doesnt matter if its one or six cards stacked together, it takes one INTERFACE. Not everyone has an SLI board, and those that dont will definetly love the performance of the card.
If they just would allow Quad SLI w/ it to end users....

7950, sadly (according to everything I've read), is a single-card solution. No proprietary quad SLI for you.cyborg_ninja-117 wrote:

from http://www.tomshardware.com/2006/06/05/ … _7950_gx2/: a nice read in facto does the introduction of the GeForce 7950 GX2 mean that Quad SLI is coming to the mainstream enthusiast? Unfortunately the answer is no - at least, not yet. Nvidia feels that Quad SLI is still too complex a product to release to the public without the assistance of trained professional system integrators. To prove the point that this will be temporary, the GeForce 7950 GX2 has a single SLI bridge but we will not see retail support until Nvidia provides a driver that enables it. Until such time as Quad SLI is supported, this card is being positioned by Nvidia as the fastest single PCI Express solution on the market.
Great Review...I like that one better than the one i found. +1max wrote:

but then the 8 series should be out (dx 10 enabled)Jack Bauer wrote:

This card looks pretty sweet. Maybe I'll get it in 6 months when the price is hopefully more reasonable ;D

Yes, but personally, I'm all about waiting for some kind of killer, loss-leader type of sale (black friday, memorial day, etc..) and getting something with a good price to performance ratio I'm ritch, but that doesn't mean I want to piss money away for less-matured and buggier productsmax wrote:

yep DX10 cards are gonna make the 7950 look like an ant...max wrote:

but that would be like buying a 6 series card now. Everything in tech progresses so fast that it is hard to stay on top. But to buy an outdated card does not make a lot of sense unless you are on a very tight budget. You will regret it later (i mean as soon as dx 10 titels come out you are going to kick yourself)Jack Bauer wrote:

i'm sure thats only for the more powerful versions (even todays cards are not so far away from 300W). the less powerful versions will sure need less powercyborg_ninja-117 wrote:
well from computex the DX10 cards are power hungry monsters... 300 watt for a card (not like 300w requirement) card uses 300 watts... heard theyre also VERY hot
from 130-300 watts... thats like first release, still high though... but i would love fancy shadowsmax wrote:

It isn't one card. That's the way I see it. Stacking two of the same card together and taking some of the ports and connectors off of them and screwing them together doesn't in any way make it one card.
i'd take it. if not only the xfx cards are playing hard to get @ THE MAX! aaaarghMaj.Do wrote:
