Gigabyte Dual 6800

W1zzard · May 23, 2005

Gigabyte is the second video card manufacturer after ASUS to present a dual-6800 video card.

The colleagues from HKEPC have a shot of it.

The card will have 2x 256 MB GDDR memory and two GeForce 6800GT GPUs.

If you look closely at their card you can see some kind of connector, maybe for SLI. While SLI has been known to support only two video cards, this could have changed.

Projected scores are 9500 in 3DMark05 and 20400 in 3DMark03.

Update: Mashie sent word that the connector is not an SLI connector but a connector for additional video outputs.

Wow thats a massive cooler.

Ive heard that SLI doesnt actually effect game performance unless the games are written to use it? Like multi-threading for dual CPU's. Or does something in the drivers deal out 3d workload to anything?

Also looks reallllllly heavy. Thats a big block of copper for the PCI-E slot to hold.

The white connector on top is for two VGA outputs seen here

Quad SLI would be fun though...
