But that is what a 7950 is! It is 2x 7900 that are 'declocked' running in SLI mode! What do you think it is?

If you are going to compare an SLI board, then compare it to other SLI boards!

RRRRRRR! Wrong Answer! Better go read up on your board - it is physically 2 boards crammed together. And yes, it is using SLI to do its dirty work through a built in bridge! Here is a pic if you don't think its two boards:

By the way, don't get me wrong - It is a nice idea if you only have 1 PCI-E 16x slot. However, if you have 2x PCI-E 16x slots, seperate boards is a better way to go.

LOL...that's the ugliest graphics card (or should I say sandwich card?) I've ever seen. It reminds me of the razor blade philosophy...4 blades is better then one. Errr...no it isn't...it just makes it more likely to cut skin. :rotfl:

Looks like one of those fans might have a bit of trouble getting air...

It works though. But like the razor blade - 4 blades doesn't neccesarily cut 4x faster. You gain only about 1/3 more on average it would seem. Where it starts to shine is like 1920x res and beyond - beyond the capabilty of most monitors. Drop it down to 1600x or 1280x, it is not much faster than a single chip solution (and sometimes slower)

My thoughts exactly. How can you even begin to put a custom fan mod on that board?

Anyway, it is fast though, but it rightfully should be because it is 2 vid cards.
