Hope it's not like the last SLI in one card that Nvidia brought to market.

Hopefully it does not... I hate loud computer hardware

It looks like the cooling fan has no exhaust out of the case? That certainly would be a step backwards in cooling design.

Cheers Porphy

Dunno, but that cooler scares me. It won't be out for a while longer so I guess we will hear then.

I'll see if I can dig up more details on this.

What I find interesting is the diverting paths Nvidia and ATI are taking. It is finially time to see a fork in the road. This GPU not getting much faster with each rev thing is not interesting anymore.

THis fork will finially put some interesting spins back into a boring slightly faster with each rev vid card thing we have going in the last few years. The perfromance gains have pretty much been pathetic since like 2004.
