Gigabyte's 3D1 brings SLI to a single card

Posted by Hemos on from the good-coverage dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Gigabyte have implemented nVidia's SLI on a single graphics board, dubbed the "3D1." The card features two GeForce 6600GT cores (I would imagine two 6800 cores would draw too much power and create too much heat for a single PCB.) Hexus.net have a review of the board, which in various tests was able to compete with a 6800GT, but will it be marketed at a favourable price? You may also want to read Hexus' article - 'An Introduction to SLI' - for a look at how SLI technology works."

    Hello, I am looking to buy a new video card. Any suggestions as to what the best card at the $200 price point is? I like Doom3 and Half-Life 2.

      1) take a sentence
      2) split it into 3 lines
      3) capitalise the first word on each line
      4) ????
      5) profit!
