Posted by CmdrTaco on from the two-is-one-more-than-one dept.

kamerononfire writes "Tom's Hardware has an article on a new dual-GPU graphics card, to be released Friday, by Giga-byte: "According to sources, the SLI card will lift current 3DMark2003 record revels by a significant margin while being priced lower than ATI's and Nvidia's single-GPU high-end cards.""

    They are coming out with a card that includes a gpu, cpu, hard drive, ram, motherboard, ethernet, sound AND it's a nuclear powered plus it will fit in your back pocket and transmit the monitor images straight to your visual cortex all the while making your breakfast and cleaning your basement.

      No. God won't open-source the drivers.

      Don't worry, we are working on reverse engineering them.

    You will need two such cards to play Doom4 in 640x480 at 25 fps :)

      If you turn off shadows, it'll run at 28 fps but only 98% of the screen will be black.

    ...the SLI card will lift current 3DMark2003 record revels by a significant margin...

    Unfortunately, it's only available in Asia.

    ... the following Slashot community concerns:

    1) Does it run under Linux?
    2) Even better, can I install Linux on it?
    3) Does it increase Firefox's market share?
    4) Does it make Bill Gates look bad?
    5) Is it in any way related to Star Wars?
    6) Will it make my porn look better?

    Prompt reponses will be greatly appreciated.

    Slashdot UIDs less than six digits are old and busted.

    Six digits plus is the way to go now, and yes, I am taking the piss out of your comment.
