Nvidia 8850gtx dual GPU.....

Does anyone think a dual 8800gtx card (8850gtx?) will be forthcomming anytime soon? 1536MB memory and dual on one card, with 2 cards avaliable for SLi.....hhhmmmm........4 CPU cores, 4 Video cores, 4GB system RAM and 3+GB video ram...that would make a nice fast system I think.......
OOOHHHH....what the future hold...... 8O

Anyone interested in something like this ?

Peltiers are always an option......but the wattage would be something....
I'm sure there are people out there designing games and apps that will soon slow down an 8800 in the very near future. Alan Wake is going to be pretty taxing on a graphics system in the near future. Well, sometimes it's nice to dream of the future and whats next in computers.....

lol imagine that your PC will be consuming at least 1Kw of power, now imagine that on the summer season on Texas that everyone use the air conditioner plus a 1Kw of powerconsumption PC, omg lol that will be funnie. At least the one that win here is the power plant enterprise.

First of all that's gonna be one heck of a PCB to get that amount of stuff on one card, not going to happen IMO, 2 card 1 slot, now that's doable.

How is the peltier going to help? Still exchanging heat with the environment it's in so still a space heater, you need an outdoor cooler to remove the heat.

IMO for NVIDIA to blow ATi out of the water they need to release a card that is smaller, uses a 65nm/80nm process, and uses GDDR4 memory

Does GDDR4 even really help? The NV core architecture is core limited (if the generic NV design holds true from the 6 series and 7 series), so speeding up the RAM wouldn't get you a whole lot, if anything. hever you ever tried overclocking the RAM on a 7 series... it doesn't net you much at all, acctually when I OC'd mine I got 1 FPS.... OOO saucey. However, when I OC'd the core it scaled well, first 3FPS more then 5 and it maxed out around a 7 FPS gain on average before coolbits cut me off (stupid conservative program). I realize the architecture in the 8 series is very different from the 7 series, but the NV core is holding back the memory.

I saw a post in an extreme OC forum that nitro cooled 7900GTX's in SLI and found that that the memory became the bottleneck when the core reached 900MHz or so (of course this is when both the Mem and Core were OC'd). If I can find the link I will, but don't hold your breath.

All the benchmarks I have seen for the 8800GTX show a minimum 30% margin over the top of the 1900XTX, what more do you need? That's a huge margin considering people squabble over a 5% difference in CPUs.

Of course ATi will come back with something that is over the top of it in a few months, but for right now, nVidia is kicking ass.

I'm pretty confident my sli'd 8800gtx's will last a while.
Actually there's no need for more than two 8800 cores anyway unless intel come up with massively faster whole PC architectures, even with my heavily overclocked X6800 extreme and all eyecandy as high as it will go, the bottleneck is still most definately the CPU/PC architecture itself and not the GPUs any more. Anyway if I'm proved wrong, I can always put a 3rd one in the middle slot later as GTX's have two sli connectors :-)

Lucky

what, like if one of the tubes carrying liquid gas in the negitive numbers decides to brake on you, and you get covered in the stuff? (ie instant frost bite) some people use propane as the gas too, so if it springs a leak your phase change system might turn into a flamethrower. 8O

and if your useing some of the more dangerus gases like R-134a, and you breath in too much it'll displace all the air in your lungs ad you'll die...

so, it's relitively safe as long as you keep everything together.

Not until a major die shrink.

WOW....you guys really know how to tangent think.....i was just wondering if anyone would like to see a quad SLi 8800gtx rig and you're all off talking about power consumption and how to best heat your computer rooms....I can see nVidia expanding to a dual card, single slot setup, buy 2 of them and get quad SLI. I don't really concern myself with how much power it's going to take to fire a system like that up. I figure, if I can afford to but the system in the first place, then I'm sure I can afford to pay the electric bill. I'd even bet that not too many of you out there are too concerned with how much juice your rigs are using. If it takes 2 1KW power supplies to run a rig like that, I'm in.....where do I get a set ....
I think that if nVidia could have a 60% lead over ATI, they should do it, the faster we advance computer technology the better for us end users.
I don't care who leads the pack for GPU dominance, i just like to see progress.......

word.

Sorry, I don't do LAN parties.....
I'd need a van to move all that stuff anyway....

Might as well get a 3rd 8800GTX for future Physics support.

It's 3 30" displays. Primary card to primary monitor for SLI, and secondary card to 2 30" displays. 1 for each side of the primary.

Eh I was sleep walking when I posted that..... err ummm yeah, we'll go with that.

Side note: Apparently I registered almost 2 years ago, but I really only started posting in March, eh such is life.

Well, if he's planning on two 30" LCDs then I'm sure he has the cash for an extra 8800GTX.
