ASUS Extreme N7800GT Dual Graphics Card: A Quick Look @ CoolTechZone

NVIDIA’s SLI is "passé", as we are now moving towards quad-GPUs with the future looking dramatically exciting. What ASUS and others have been trying to do is integrate two GPUs on a single card, and thus far, ASUS seems to be the king of the hill with this concept. The last such solution we had seen was the 6800GT dual-GPU card, which was cruelly fast and breathtaking in performance. For the record, Gigabyte introduced this concept first and implemented it on the 6800GT line of cards.

Guess what, 6800 is passé too. We are now moving towards the end of the reign of the 7800s as well and ASUS has come out with the 7800GT dual. Perhaps, if we get lucky, ASUS will provide a 7800GTX 512MB dual as well, but that so far seems to be only fiction.

Thinking about single card SLI solutions, they would come in pretty handy if you cut corners while buying a motherboard and a non-SLI card. Needless to say, even with single GPU cards, users can play their favorite games at the maximum possible resolutions without having to buy an SLI solution, which will cost significantly more than a single GPU solution.
