Asus demonstrates dual GeForce 6800 Ultra card

Asus has demonstrated a dual GeForce 6800 Ultra card on its stand at CeBIT, bringing an end to the speculation about such a device. Yes, that's two 6800 Ultra GPUs on one card. What exactly this does to the likes of UT2004 and HL2 is not exactly known to me at this time, but I can only imagine that it’s pretty cool in the extreme. The card is also a bit of a treat for people like me who like to have multiple monitors, with no less than 4 monitors supported by the card.

The board features 512MB of DDR3 memory and four DVI outputs, for driving up to four displays at once. Unfortunately, the card will only work in SLI motherboards, just like other dual-GPU cards.


Can you imagine the case needed for this, between the power requirements and the cooling...good lord...

4 monitors supported? I thought SLI-mode only allows 1 monitor. With multiple monitors, SLI will need to be disabled. Such a tragic setback for SLI...

So how much would something like this cost? A $1200 USD?

card looks too long to fit in a regular mid-tower atx case.

Most definately wont. Right now, in my crappy temp AU$30 case, the 9800pro has about 3cm worth of space between the end of it's molex and the molex of my raptors. Any longer and no fit...
