NVIDIA Readying Dual-GF110 Graphics Accelerator, Eying Total Performance Leadership
NVIDIA stunned the computing world with a speedy launch of the GeForce GTX 580. The GPU was able to increase NVIDIA's single-GPU performance leadership, and also iron-out some serious issues with the power-draw and thermal characteristics of previous generation GeForce GTX 480. It is now that a dual-GPU implementation of the GF110 graphics processor, on which the GTX 580 is based, looks inevitable. NVIDIA seems to be ready with a prototype of such a dual-GPU accelerator, which the Chinese media is referring to as the "GTX 595".
The reference design PCB of the dual-GF110 accelerator (which still needs some components fitted) reveals quite a lot about the card taking shape. First, it's a single PCB card, both the GPU systems are located on the same PCB. Second, there are slots for three DVI output connectors present, indicating that the card with be 3D Vision Surround ready in a single card. You just have to get one of these, plug in three displays over standard DVI, and you're ready with a large display head spanning three physical displays.
Third, it could feature a total of 3 GB of video memory (or 1.5 GB per GPU system). Each GPU system has six memory chips on the obverse side of the PCB. At this point we can't comment on the memory bus width of each GPU. The core configuration of the GPUs are also unknown. Fourth, power is drawn in from two 8-pin PCI-E power connectors. The card is 2-way SLI capable with another of its kind.

BC2:
Metro 2033:
Then there's all of these located here --> My Personal Generalized Benchmark Screenshots
Not sure what low standards related and relevant to this that you are talking about really.
Anyway 39 fps with nothing going on (try multiplayer) kinda sucks man.
BC2 With nothing going on:
BC2 With lots going on:
Metro 2033 loaded screen:
(All full graphics @ 1680x1050)
I just meant an average within the range of 40 to 60, as in either 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59 or 60 as the average as any of those as an average would easily apply to what i was saying i just did not want to be too specific and pick one.
Still waiting for those shots....
( not "dissin'" but the edges are really blurry. the action shot has a LOT less going on then what I used to have going in that section ( unless you took shot early : ]) (I've dust clouds and explosions and debris coming out the wazoo)
Also I've never played metro but is this really the game that brings systems to their knees now? The floor looks like ass :laugh: It's just a texture over a really really low poly mesh, ( their is no deph to the textures, so no tessellation or that other 3d texture thing I forget the name off :laugh: )
