Galaxy Launches 2-Year-old Graphics Card. Why?
Galaxy has crammed two 55nm G92 GPUs on one PCB.
As of late, we've heard quite a bit about Nvidia's Fermi-based GF100 video card and the release of ATI's DirectX 11-compatible offerings.
However, Experview has learned that Galaxy is working on a dual-core graphics card that uses an older generation of Nvidia technology: two 55nm G92 GPUs--each with 128 processing cores--on a single PCB.
According to the site, each GPU is provided with a dedicated 1 GB of GDDR3 memory (16 pieces of 0.8ns DRAM chips total), and a 256-bit memory interface. The PCB itself is blue and looks rather long, housing a PCIe bridge chip (nForce 200 BR-03), and dual-DVI outputs. Even though the G92 chips are Quad SLI-capable, there are no SLI fingers for expansion.
Realistically, we're simply talking about a 9800 GX2 that's been rebadged.
It's currently unknown if Galaxy intends to push this dual-GPU design into mass production. However, given the two-generation-old technology, this card is simply too little, too late.

2. Market it as a pro product with a pro price.
3. Corporations buy it because IT managers are retarded.
4. Profit!
Already got a voodoo 5500 and a rare Nvidia 7900gtx duo (first gen GX2) so one day this card may be in my collection.

It would probably perform the same as the 9800 GX2. Since Nvidia hasn't been pumping out anything new, they have to make their money somehow.
Otherwise, it's probably just a marketing gimmick to attract attention to galaxy.
This then leaves Nvidia's board partners with a problem, they need stock to sell to generate cash to pay the wages so companies like Galaxy have a look at what's available and make do with what they have. If Galaxy needs to produce a card like this then you known there's a good reason for it - it's not as if Galaxy have a side line in motherboards like other board partners.
What old graphics? AFAIK the 8800/9800s etc are more or less the same in terms of performance.
That would be pretty decent. Imo, I think Galaxy is trying to go after the $100-150 segment here.
@ Kevin Parrish: Any chance of a review?
if that's true it could be good. Since we know the 4870 got raped by the gtx 280, and i think 9800gx2 was a little...weaker?.
so could 5750 get assraped, cuz of bad performance....
