I'm pretty sure that's the 7950.

 

[enforcerfx]

thats the 7950 for sure

 

[mesarectifier]

It would have to be - there aren't any 7900s with 1gb of memory.

 

[prozac26]

It looks like the 7950 also.

 

[mesarectifier]

Yes, however on websites such as Savastore I've seen pictures of old socket-A era Athlons in place of all the socket 939, 754 and 940 CPUs, for example.

A picture's worth a thousand words....a spec list is worth a million (usually)

 

[Crimson_Yachiru]

Its definatly a GX2, because teh picture has the dual cards,
HOWEVER i wouldn't risk buying it because of the unbeliveably low price. 230 GBP converts to roughtly 430 USD, which is an insanely cheap price for a GX2. Most are 50% more, so you'll probably get gypped.

 

[The_Abyss]

If it is the 7950, it is way way underpriced....

 

[The_Abyss]

I've e-mailed them to establish exactly what card this is.

 

[mking007]

i think is a custom made graphics card,

the gx2 is 500mhz
and the fillrate of a gx2 is 76.8gb/sec

so this well could be a two 512mb 7900gtx just stuck together, ill phone them in the morning.

be still interesting how this would compare to a gx2

Wow that top card is huge!

Well that looks kind of similar to the cards used in quad SLI setups...

It is. Here is a pic of one of those quad SLI cards in the THG article.

They haven't replied yet, but I notice that the availability has now slipped to 1 - 2 weeks.

 

[sex_monkey]

its just a 7900 gx2 isnt it? nvidias first attempt at quad sli

 

[SuperFly03]

Yeah. From what I gather, it is a single card from nVidia's Quad SLI setup. In reality *I think* it is just a GX2 on a longer PCB board roughly.

In any case, I wouldn't want that big freakin board hanging off the side of my case its so long lol.

Ok - they replied to me

Good afternoon.

Thank you for your e-mail.

We have been advised that this is 7900 card and not the 7950.

Well that is kind of vague.

 

[BoRDeNWaSSeR_RoCCo]

I think only Asus made several dual GPU on 1 board solutions...

 

[Multiplectic]

Actually, Gigabyte did one too, the 3D1.
It was 2 6600GTs in one PCB.

 

[Heyyou27]

It actually looks like the 7900GX2 which was a lot longer than the 7950GX2.

In that picture, the top card is a 7900GX2...which is made up of two 7900GTXs!!

The bottom one is 7950GX2...which is made up of two 7900GTs!!

Another thing, being in English Pounds 268.39 including tax is well over $500 USD...........but I know the 7950GX2 supposed to be around $500 mark.

The Svastore picture looks more like a 7900GX2 to me.....being longer and all!!
