Seeking to gain a bit of cachet at the Computex trade show this week, Nvidia announced the GeForce 7950 GX2 dual-GPU graphics card on Monday. In total, Nvidia claims the cards will offer 48 pixel pipes, 16 vertex shaders, 76.8 GB per second of memory bandwidth and 24 billion texels per second of fill rate in a single card, complemented by a pair of DVI connections. The two GPUs are apired with a full gigabyte of DDR-2 memory as a frame buffer, allowing resolutions up to 2560 X 1600.
The card is also being marketed as "HDCP-capable," requiring other components that use HDCP technology. The cards are immediately available from e-tailers and other vendors, Nvidia said. Although Nvidia did not release a suggested price for the card, a quick survey of online retailers revealed prices ranging from about $635 to $720.
