    doesnt look like a vga card to me :rofl:



    chk this


    The best way to think of the GeForce 9800 GX2 card is as an 8800 GPU that has been die shrunk to 65nm and placed in an SLI configuration in a "single" card. The 9800 GX2 is very reminiscent of 7950 GX2 of days past. (And we loved the 7950 GX2 at launch, but terrible support and diminishing returns soon painted it as one of NVIDIA’s biggest failures since the 5800 series.)

    Yes it is a dual PCB design, so cards. Or were you talking about the "box" shape of it? VGA Box? :P

    Surely will not screw with that sli thing built in coz learn it the hard way with 7950GX2.But Power consumption and usual SLi issues will be faced.In this concept ATI being better with a bridge chip with two cores.It will roll out fine as it seems to be.

    VGA's are getting bulky, so in near future we may be able to see VGAs with seperate box and with seperate power supply:P
    There is something like that from nVidia already!
