largonWhat's the talk about 300W?

This thing is also PCIe 1.1a compliant so the cards' spec has an absolute max. power consumption of 150W.

The guy was talking about power requirements in general and showing how 300W was made available.

DanTheBanjomanThey already exist, in fact, they have for many years. Even 3DFX made them.

3DFX WOOT! they got screwed by their management. . . >:(

I hope ATI/AMD is looking ahead (don't really like ATIs) there needs to be more competition for Nvidia and Intel.

dual core graphics cards.

not really, iv had 3dfx cards like the voodoo5 5500 and a card like the ati radeon 3870 X2

i dont call those cards as a video card with a dual core gpu, its two separate gpus on the same card, a dual core as what im saying it like a althon x2 or phenom x4 cpu, where ther are 2 or 4 or more cpu, or in this case GPU cores in a single die, aka dual or quad core.

multiple cores on a single chip, not as in two separate chips on one card, the card would have one chip, but the one chip would basically be an actuall dual core gpu on one chip/die package, thus should also be easier to cool as well, as in the 3870 x2 card i had overheated cuz the air pushed the cool air through the first heatsinc and heated the air, once it got to the second chip the air wanst cool, the air was hot thus causing the second chip to over heat... and actuall dual core gpu would be better as in they would be easier to cool unlike as you said a dual core which isnt, its considered a dual chip graphics card, not dual core, dual core is basically two processors on one chip, which is how they should be making graphics card gpus now sence dualcore and quad core cpus are made, gps could be made the same way as well,

918 day bump. Sorry couldn't resist, t'was an epic bump, after all. Welcome to TPU, by the way. :toast:

:wtf:

I smell the smell of a bump that smells smelly.

face palm :shadedshu

It would be slightly less absurd if it weren't worded so redundantly...

Let dying threads die. Either post on topic or move along. This constant idea that spamming threads for whatever reason needs to stop. Please be mature and move along versus posting more irrelevant posts. I don't want to start handing out points for such offenses, but have no real issues doing so. Let's not have to go there shall we?

lol, can anyone else recall what they forgot to say 3 years ago?

I predict the HD3k series will have a low performance advantage over the 2900xt

dude! are you from the future?! :roll:
