Albatron Two-Headed Monster Coming At You!
Another awesome graphics card for your consideration. Albatron has enthusiastically announced the dual GPU 9800GX2. Two heads are better than one as SLI pundits have proven, but with the 9800GX2, you don’t have to fumble with manipulating two cards into your case.
The 9800GX2 has two nVidia 9800 GPUs tucked into a sleek black case with a single PCI-e 2.0 slot connector. In addition, this card features the latest 65nm technology assuring the highest processing efficiency, lowest power consumption and the most optimal 3D gaming performance and HD Video playback – much like every other nVidia 9800 solution.
Each GPU contains 128 stream processors and boasts a 600MHz core clock. The shader clock is rated at 1500MHz with a texture fill rate of 76.8bn/s. This card comes with a whopping 1GB (512MB per GPU) of GDDR3 memory with a memory clock of 1000MHz using a 512-bit (256-bit per GPU) memory interface. The memory bandwidth is 128GB/s.
Is this card HD ready or what? The 9800GX2 has an HDMI connector which can pass pure uncompressed high-definition video and audio to your HD monitor. But, if HDMI doesn’t fit into your plans, this card also provides Dual-link DVI connectors with HDCP compatibility. Dual 400MHz RAMDACs can also support dual QXGA displays with refresh rates up to 2048×1536@85Hz. Simply said, this card rocks…
