TweakTown surprised me the other day.

Never thought I'd see that..although real early,it's a bit shifty to leave it with 896 per gpu though..hopefully it's not too much of a wallet rapist

holy crap! That can't be real can it?

edit: Hah! April fools?

I thought that myself too honestly, but there's a bit of coincidence with how they're remaking the 295 into one pcb with the 2 gpus(so I've read anyway)..so I wouldn't put it past them. It does pose a thought on whether 8 gpus are possible

it looks like its real to me :\ and you can guarantee the enthusiast market will climb to higher numbers of GPUs, i doubt it will slow down until there are 8 per PCB, and it is perfected.

damn skier lol..you went and jumped the gun and put 8 on one pcb..I was just thinkin Octo-SLI..I like the idea of 8 gpus on on board tho..

what may seem far fetched now may become the norm in a couple years, i'm sure back when the first pentiums came out no one was expecting quad or 6-core CPUs!

hehe true..I know I didn't expect even a dual core really.

Well as die size keeps getting smaller and power consumption decreases, maybe it'll be possible

That fan would have to be damn loud...

I'd hate having one of these cards. 4x the cores & memory, that's just 4x the risk of parts failing. It'd probably be a high RMA part and not last very long.
