Default GeForce 9800 GX2 speculation.

Just thought some people may be interested in the new graphics card that is on the way. Some pictures and a little speculation here:
Exclusive: Nvidia GeForce 9800GX2 | Tom's Hardware

Basically it looks like two of the current generation cards melded together. In effect SLI in one card. That of course leaves the question if you can buy another card and get in effect 4 GPUs all working together

Madness of course, but at least it keeps them coming up with faster cards

not from what that article suggests. Just looks like two GPUs on the one card, not really the modern way of dual core.

do they come with their own nuclear reactor to power them? You will need a rig with two of those in it to run Crysis at full settings, my pair of 8800GT's struggle with anything above high settings with that game.

I think the rumours about dual core on one card are to do with ATi or AMD or whatever they are called now.
