ASUS Shows Off Dual GeForce 6800 Ultra

ASUS has decided to make and now show off the world?s fastest graphics card that will remain the fastest even after the launch of next-generation products, such as ATI?s R520. The board features two GeForce 6800 Ultra graphics processors, which work in the Multi-GPU SLI mode and give users the power of 32 pixel and 12 vertex processors, totally unbelievable number even a year ago.

The graphics card that is yet to receive its brand-name is equipped with total 256MB of memory with 256-bit interface as well as two DVI-I connectors. It is unclear whether the board allows output to 4 displays.

While the design of the graphics card looks simplistic, the dual GeForce 6800 Ultra is expected to put tremendous requirements on the PSU of the system as well as its other components, such as mainboard, which will indisputably make systems with the product very expensive. However, ASUS thinks there is a market for this type of products.

The company insists that the dual GeForce 6800 Ultra will be faster compared to the forthcoming chips, namely R520, which will allow users to remain on the leading edge of technology without upgrading the graphics card. But what if the company equips its next-gen graphics card with two R520 visual processing units? :)
