I remember hearing GDDR5 was alot cheaper than GDDR3, thats why ATI skipped GDDR4 apparently. I could be wrong.
I wish Nvidia would decide on one naming convention. Ever since the 9 series came out they have been screwing with it.
I don't see how a dual Gpu card could be cheap. and whats up with a 512bit bus with GDDR5? You get one or the other, not both. that alone makes the card very expensive. and 2 gigs of memory. She won't be cheap. And I wonder just how much of a boost it will be.
I've always been mixed on dual gpu cards. I mean, they are SO hit or miss... Just look at the benchmarks. The inconsistency and high power draw has always been enough to turn me away from both dual GPU and SLI solutions.
Well Sli or crossfire is nice if you have a card that's aging and not a lot of cash on hand. So yes a dual card solution can come in handy from time to time.
in case you guys didnt nkow, nvidia will be renaming the 9800series to gt100 and gts100 series to help out the confused uneducated gpu consumers
