We already published Information about the preparation for the announcement of two-chip video card geForce 8950 GX2 on the base Of g80 . And later we reported about the plans with respect to the release of such graphical solution from galaxy company . . The level of energy consumption in g80 is sufficiently high in order to use such chips in the two-headed video cards with the dense layout. However, some improvements are definitely planned - we already reported that on exhibition ceBIT 2007 were demonstrated the versions Of geForce 8800 GTS without additional power connector.
Meanwhile in this year NVIDIA plans to release the mobile version g80, and it can completely become base for the follower Of geForce 7950 GX2, which everyone calls GeForce 8950 GX2. Today appeared additional information about the possibility to release two-chip video card geForce 8950 GX2. alpha cool company , which is specialized in the production of cooling systems, demonstrated the water-block for GeForce 8950 GX2.
As it is possible to understand from the construction of water-block, this video card will have the same two-stage layout as GeForce 7950 GX2. Thus this is early prototype, quality of contact surfaces in series products must be much better.
We note that the thickness of water-blocks alpha cool is very small - approximately 4-5 mm. let us note that water-blocks with the same thickness are released by this company also for video card on the base of ATI chips :
The GeForce 8800 Ultra will be not the only answer from NVIDIA to the release Of r600. Related Products :
