it would be awesome if...

whoa yeah... but why stop there?
They should make a 256x PCI express motherboard with 8 16x slots and then make cards that can do daisy chain SLI so you'd end up with 16x PCI express and 8 GPUs, but it would be even better if they did like that 3D1 thing and put 2 GPUs per board so you'd have 16 GPUs... damn that would be hot

wow

exactly
 
The day they start putting out video games that force me to buy 2 video cards in order to run all high settings smoothly, is the day I quit playing.

Actually that's when I'll bust out the old library of classics. :cool:

Dual GPUs on one card is another story though.
 
There is already I dual GPU card (No I dont mean the old Voodoo FX cards...)
 
Instead of 16 GPU's why not have dual core GPU's and multiple GPU's with multiple cores for a total of 32 cores in a single machine!!!! Plus we can put DDR memory directly on the cards in slots and end up with 4GB of memory per card!!!!

What was the point of this agian?

And get temps of 30000 degrees with water cooling, and a peltier with refrigeration?

If you had a large enough case you could warm food with it. Or bake cookies for lan events.
 
lol at these replies...

ati could put make a dual gpu card with the core of the x800xl...it doesnt even require a molex connector on board in single configuration...

what i more meant was a dual gpu agp 6800 card...hell if priced somewhat within reason i think lots of people might buy one considering everybody that has a high end rig with an agp motherboard might not want to buy an sli board, have to buy new ddr2 memory, etc...

companies have already made dual gpu 6600gt cards...a micron shrink with a 16 pipe 6800 core would probably allow it from a power standpoint...

i know they would never do it because...well....it would be cool...

if you ask me pci express, ddr2...its a ploy of bs with no real performance benefit now...but such are things in the computer industry...
 
i dont think you guys get what he is saying, he means that it would be cool to have SLI with 2 AGP cards, instead of pci-e

No he didn't. If you read his last post he clafifies. That it would be nice to have a dual 6800 solution on a single card like the Asus and Gigabyte SLi single card 6600GT's.

************what i more meant was a dual gpu agp 6800 card*********** See? How is that dual AGP slots?

The only thing I can say on the subject is that a dual 6800 setup on a single card would require a very long card, that uses alot more power and would use more than the 6800Ultra would. With power requirements as high as they are for an Ultra a card such as that wouldn't really market well. I think most of the people that can afford SLi can generally afford the motherboards also. Also a single card SLi 6800 Solution would also max out the AGP bus. As you'd have two cards with about 4x AGP's worth of information traveling across the board.

That's what I think is probably the main issue. Little market for a product such as that.

i said dual 6800 gpu's on a single card AFTER a die shrink, that might bring the power consumption down to a reasonable level of a single 6800 Ultra. That would probably also cut down on the need for a very long card.
