hothardware.com — Sapphire expects to launch this in the next month or so but we having feeling it will be a limited release type of product. Word is a $399 price point is being targeted. And as you can see, there are CrossFire edge connectors on the top side of the card, so quad CrossFire is a possibility.

how inefficient!instead of putting two power hungry gpu's on one board, why not work on creating a much more power efficient gpu that doesn't require its own nuclear reactor?

No, it does not.

I recently switched my gf7950GX2 card (really 'cards') for an 880GTS for this very reason. Most cases simply can't accommodate these new dual-GPU monster cards!!

Why can't AMD/ATI just concentrate on releasing the R600 sooner. It's bad enough the card has been delayed for over 2 months, and now they show inferior products like this. =/

You could be right, or it could be the fact that directx 10 has a unified shader system. No more vertex or pixel shaders, just one shader that can handle both. So, yes, it does have more processors, faster core clock, and faster memory clock, but the point still holds...why would anyone buy this new card when they know its huge, slow, and doesn't support directx 10? Why any company would waste money developing this card, I don't know.
