 http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/article.h ... VzaWFzdA== According to engadget it's like taking two 8800 ultras in SLi and putting them in one card. And thats the annoying thing! it's not even a new card! they've just shrunk the ultras GPU down to 65nm so they can fit two of them into one housing. I'm sure it will be a beastly card, but it wasnt really the huge leap i was expecting |

1) nVidia have lost the plot wrt to naming conventions - abuse of dominant market position or new VP of Marketing? Either way, nobody's fooled  2) It might be that a new driver will sort out the performance, but don't expect anything spectacular.... |

Has it got to the stage where moral factors are included in which GPU's we buy?
