Asus Develops Dual 7800GT Graphics Card

Details are scarce about the new EN7800GT Dual graphics card from taiwanese manufacturer Asus. The company seems to have sent some pre-production photos to hardware websites around the globe. Asus first persued the dual GPU concept with their Extreme N6800GT-DUAL/2DT and now seems to transfer that knowledge to a new product based on Nvidia's G70 GPU architecture.

What is known about the EN7800GT Dual graphics card is that two GPU cores reside on a PCI Express PCB. The card is equipped with 1.6ns GDDR3 memory from Samsung (expect 512MB), needs an external power connection to the PSU and features two DVI outputs as well as TV out. Default speed settings for the GeForce 7800 GT are 400MHz for the GPU and 1000MHz for memory. The two yellow connectors you can see at the top in the middle are said to house additional signal outputs (DVI or VGA). Obviously there is no SLI connector on the PCB but alas Nvidia promised that won't be necessary anymore once Release80 ForceWare drivers are released to public. As for pricing Asus has not revealed any details yet, but expect the card to cost less than two single 7800GT cards.
