I suppose this is one of those "proof of concept" products which may never actually be made, and if it is it would be in very low quantities.

I cannot imagine what kind of air cooler they'd have to stick on that shit to cope with 2xGF100s' heat output... and the power draw will be frightening.
 
Well, it's a real photo, so it's made. Not production yet, and it's more of a "we can do it" thing. I don't even know if it would be possible to air-cool it, unless the cooler takes two additional slots instead of one or something... or they clock it down a lot.
 
You would have to setup a duel or even quad water cooling system. depending on how many you plan on running. and depending on what you were running in your system, you would defiantly need the 2600 watt PS that uses the same plug type as your stove! dam that would be an expensive hydro bill. and on a side note assuming the GPU's are compatible with a multiprocessor chipset like the Intel Xeon its only a matter of time until we see a quad setup, MARS IV?? Dam, and come to think of it to get the full potential of each processor you would need at least 1 CPU(Intel Xeon 9600 Serries for every 2 GPU's you were running, DROOL........

Nah, a dual GTX 480 is really fine with a 1KW PSU if you don't overclock. If you overclock, probably 1200W will be fine.

And there are already motherboards out there that support dual hexacore xeons :-) ... EVGA has one at least I think... the SR-2 or something?
 
Quad Octocore is the best Ive seen. (Server Board) but yeah, I was also reffering to an SLI or crossfire setup about the PS.
 
I'd love to see test reviews on that card once it's in production. They make it and people will buy. I might forget about ATI for that card. But ATI will have to build one too
 
They've done it before put two GPUs on one card. They're more than likely gonna do it again. To cool it they would either have to put two medium size fans going at med-high to high or water cool it.
