Yeah...no kidding eh? That's the whole point. Notice the "GX2"...GC_PaNzerFIN wrote:

Basically it allows QUAD-SLi with only two PCIe. It failed horribly last time, and probably will this time too.
Because you can't use internal ones.GC_PaNzerFIN wrote:

So that you can run two of these...?GC_PaNzerFIN wrote:

I just get the feeling they got in hurry and did it cheap way slapping two GTS cards together with a flexible sli connector... probably horrible to make drivers for... which is the main problem with this kind of cards.Freezer7Pro wrote:

Yeah, that's why the 7900GX2 was a POS too.GC_PaNzerFIN wrote:

my point is it might have been smarter to use just the bridge chip. (faster connection between the GPUs). like the HD 3870 X2.buLLet_t00th wrote:

They need the SLi bridge for SLi, how else are they going to do it?
Oh....I get what you're saying now. The SLi bridge there is for the two cards within the one card. Yeah I see what you're saying now.GC_PaNzerFIN wrote:

Oh no Anyone know where to find the new pics on other locations?
that doesn't look like a 9800? because I don't see 2 cores?
notice that those are two different PCBs. GX2 is two PCBs slapped together and a cooler between them.']['error wrote:

I don't know if anyone else is getting the same problem as me, but it says that the bandwidth has been exceeded for those photos so they don't display right.

and a possible reason why it was delayed?
