Dual GPU graphics solution from ATi?
Graphics Guru writes "Last week TweakTown posted an exclusive picture of the ATi Radeon 8500 MAXX with believable accompanying information also regarding the highly anticipated ATi R300. 3DChipset is today reporting that they have confirmation that the 8500 MAXX is indeed real and is due to be shipped fairly soon. Here's what someone from ATi told them: "The ATI Radeon 8500 Maxx is for real and the card is already in full production and about to be shipped soon. ATi has finally nailed certain issues with the dual chip. Final testings have been done and you should here noise from ATi regarding this offering." You decide if it is real or not, a solid dual GPU solution would surely rock the industry to massive proportions!"
Yeah, they said this about the final Kiss tour as well.
I'll start up a computer company to capitalize on the hig demand for such systems. We'll put all the horsepower into killer graphics and put them in cool looking boxes.
I think I'll call the company SGI. With a plan like this, we'll be around FOREVER.
