EVGA Unveils GeForce GTX 460 2WIN Dual-GPU Graphics Card
It looks like EVGA isn't waiting for GeForce GTX 590, and is releasing its own dual-GPU graphics card to challenge Radeon HD 6990. Being released about 12 days ahead of GTX 590, EVGA's new GeForce GTX 460 2WIN could be a tad bit late to the market, considering it was first shown to the world back in January, at this year's CES event. The EVGA GTX 460 2WIN is a dual-GPU graphics card that uses two GeForce GTX 460 GPUs with 1 GB of memory each, for an SLI on a stick solution.
The EVGA GTX 460 2WIN (2WIN sounds like "twin"), uses clock speeds of 700 MHz core, and 900 MHz (3600 MHz GDDR5 effective) memory. Each GF104 chip has 336 CUDA cores enabled, totaling the CUDA core count to 672. The card is cooled by an in-house cooler by EVGA, it uses a large heatsink that is ventilated by three 80 mm fans. Power is drawn from two 8-pin PCI-E power connectors. Display outputs include three DVI and one mini-HDMI, you can run a 3-display NVIDIA 3D Vision Surround setup with just one of these cards, without needing a second one.EVGA also let out its own performance figures for the card, in which the card was put through 3DMark 11 and Unigine Heaven, where the card scored about 5~10% faster than the EVGA GeForce GTX 580. EVGA did not disclose pricing or availability.

anyone one to buy my MSI forzr 2 GTX 560 lol... only has a 700mhz core clock?? wonder if they can be clocked to 1000mhz...
EDIT:
just realised this is a GTX460 not 560 :(

"WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?!?"
I'd SO buy one of these things if I didn't already have my 580.
Still, being a 460 owner and one who still loves his 104...I award this board a..giggty!
Long board tho, wouldn't fit in my rig. Shame it didn't come out before 5 series launched.
Excellent for people with 3 monitors, shit im all excited now lol.
What I'd be interested in is overclock performance, like what's it do at 850-900 on the cores.
on topic: very swexsie cards, EVGA and the white one! But I really don't see (any) market for dual cards if it is not the top of the pops, because buyers are rich freaks period. Not the clever crowds that will maybe SLI *after* some time and add a 2nd card to their setup.
I don't know, maybe also for the micro ATX or mini ATX boards with just one PCI-E slot... !?
1. if it doesn't support SLI what's the point considering the price of it.
2. Why have the SLI connector on the side if there will be no SLI support???
