    Default Sweet, anyone else seen this 4gb video card?

    http://www.techpowerup.com/95445/ASU...hics_Card.html

    Couple this with an I7 and 6 gig of ram, and I wonder how many instances of wow we can run?

    Saw this , this morning and had to share it. The card even looks like it's meant to do business,

    I love Asus...they're always coming up with crazy unique designs. If I had tons of money to just throw around you bet I'd be picking up 1 [or 2] of these. I'd like to see these benchmarked...besides for the 3DMark that TPU did there.

    I thought this comment was amusing:

    I used it when I built and tuned my current machine in March '08 It's handy and didn't cause me any grief.

    does it come with a liquid nitrogen drip cooler?

    that looks like a nuclear meltdown waiting to happen.

    Its technically 2x cores with 2GB each.. lol

    But ya, its a bit on the insane side.
    May I bother you to explain that a bit more please? Do you mean it's running two GPU's but will still have the same speed allowed by slot?

    It's been a long time since I built a machine, (shoot I'm still running an AGP card).

    It is physically 2 cores, of 2gb each, on a single card.
    Kind of like my 4870 X2, fits into a single slot and is a 2GB card, but in actuality is two 1GB cards on a single board.
