Who needs "insiders" when you guys have me?

Posted By: Steve McBarnes - 05:27:33 Tue, October 28, 2008

An insider has provided Expreview some spy shots of the HD 4850 X2 card. Then I go over to Sapphire's card picture area and get you guys official pictures of the card and box. You can find the dual GPU HD 4850 on our HD 4850 page for now until we get proof that more other manufacturers are going to make these. It is the same deal we did for Asus' HD 3850 X2.

Who's the man?

sweet. problem is dual pcb..wait..its a single?!:! and of course price...6600x2 or 6800x2 or whatever x2 never really caught on much..i mean its gotta be way cheaper to slap two gpus on one board..price it accordingly...and then the question of performance comes around..if they price it too low itll kill 4870 sales or whatever top dog x company has at y moment..and so on..L:)

not sure how much cheaper you expect it to be really...

they usually have double the memory, double the cores, bigger PCB board needed and larger cooling, larger power base...i'm starting to see it costing about the same as 2 separate boards at this point

Ah I didn't know Gigabyte made their own x2 version. Good memory! I thought you were referring to the more recent X2's.
Either way its more than just slapping things together theres a good deal of work involved.
