a dual gf104 is planned.. theres no secret.. but zotac is getting antsy.. that 5970 and ares have been sitting untouched in the market for FAR too long for their likings.. and the prospect of an ati single card and another dual gpu isnt all that exciting either for them..

ladies and gentlemen i give you the chosen one!!!!

yes my children the promised one is upon us.. behold the zotac gtx 460x2!!!

a dual gpu sporting two gtx 460 (768mb) cores. now she will only sli with another 460x2 but she is a dual gpu.. based on a similar pcb layout to their gts 250x2 (asian markets only) she has a shoulder to her making her hairs taller than a 5970 about the same height as an ares while maintaining a shorter length. she has 2 8-pin power connectors and has 4 dvi- ports on her backside as well as 1 hdmi

beyond this there isnt a whole lot more to say about her.o news on pricing but she is sure to shatter a few floors when she comes crashing through the floor later this year.

okay so i missed a bit of stuff:

672 cuda cores, a 256-bit memory bus, and 1gb ram she looks primed to easily rise above the 480 in the standings. prepare for the dual zotac card!

hd 5970 vs gtx 460x2, area scanned, battle mode approved, battlefield setup.. ready... FIGHT!!!!!

I could have sworn that I had saw a GTX 460 X2 on Newegg already, but now I can't seem to find it.

Damn, if it is, then say goodbye to the 5970 and possibly 6950 or 6970 if its really good.

you have to remember this is a zotac only thing and we may never see it.. their last dual gpu was asia only (the gts 250x2).. well be lucky if we see this card tbh..

update for just you there gt.. i read into the preview ofr this over at zol.cn and found that this gpu will probably sit UNDER a gtx 580 and actually has 2gb ram not 1 my bad.. so yeah price wise and preformance wise it wont conquer the towering 580 claims but it will certainly raise eyebrows if she shows..

Meh, what is the point to it?

It should perform very near HD5970, what is the point to make a "beast" card if it's bestéd by a 1year old card.

No, this card is outdated before it arrive, would you guy's rather buy a more expencive dualgpu card than a new sinlgecore card with the same performance? (HD69xx)

This is a card they migth send out to fight against the HD69xx (NO, there will be no GTX580 worth mention in sevral months) and honestly i can only see it barely beat the previous version best card. (HD5970)

This card is only meh even before it's released.

Do it yourself? :lol: Do you know anything about this card? All I truuly know is that if it's infact two GF104 die's witch it very much look like on that picture since it has a rectangular die instead of the GF100 rectangular die. .. This does indicate GF104 SLI performance and that end up = HD5970! Soo, what can you proove? The HD69xx series will ofc. perform better than the HD58xx do, and with a rather bad CF scaling from the HD5850/70 hybrid card ( HD5970) a single HD6970 just need another 30% performance to be better, that is WELL within reach and SHOULD be obtained. In fact two CF'ed HD68xx (BARTS GPU= midclass) beats the SLI'ed gtx460 with a margin due to superior CF scaling, the HD69xx x2 card (Antiles = two HIGHEND GPU's ) Should make toast of this card. GTX460 isn't a bad card i got one myself but serious, how can they compete with a compleatly new HIGend serie. this card is MEH! About the GTX580 Can anyone proove anything than loose roumors about it? .spec's. performance. even a plastic dummy of the card like gtx480? X/ So, what is there to proove, the fact that the picture has two die's that look like gf104. well proove that!

I would normally agree.. But I'm not sure that the 4670x2 was worth the attempt. Not for $300.
