I doubt the Matrox cards will work. I will dig into the specs at some point, but don't hold your breath.JonnySun 1.0 wrote:To JamesOne:
What's about Matrox-Cards? As far as i know they offer triple-head-feature.

ttoz, good thoughts.ttoz wrote:if we were serious about this there are cards out there that have 10 times the gigaflops power even of a 6800 ultra, at similar price points. but they are not gamers cards. but they do 2d just fine.
There are video cards that perform 400 GFlops?
Are you referring to the Quadro or Fire GL cards?
Last I checked, the Quadro line of video cards offered approx. 2x's the performance and cost around $2500. Different ballgame.
I would be interested if you can find some professional class cards that you think might work. A lot of the pro class cards use faster DDR3 memory and we will be able to quantify the difference in speed between the PCI Express cards and the professional cards.
There's a lot more to the performance of AVEX than a faster card, so even if the card is faster for 3D or CAD work it doesn't mean better plug-in performance. This is theoretical though, because AVEX has not been benchmarked on a wide assortment of cards yet.
Anandtech has offered to help with this in the future.

You haven't seen the passively cooled 6800 Gigabyte card then? The 6600 series will be pretty cheap too, and aren't the 6200 even cheaper?ttoz wrote:when this was firts announced right here in this very forum it was made clear that ATi cards were not supported but all geforec fx cards were. i couldn't be botherd finding the thread myself, if you want to, be my guest, but I do have a very good memory.jamesOne wrote:ttoz wrote:At the end of the day it was supposed to even work on fx5200.
The specs have not been published anywhere. Please point me at a specific post or location and I will correct it.
regardless, 6800's are hot and noisy, and at the end of the day I could afford one if i really wanted to, but don't.
I will reevaluate this in 2 or 3 years time.
cheers and good luck anyways

Oh, ram? Specs haven't been announced. We need some more time on that one.

JamesOne: Don't forget: Without many and good plugs for a resonable price the new technology will disappear into nothingless i fear.
Best technology is useless if you don't have the tools to use it.
Same story with ATARI Jaguar: (for example) The world's first 64-Bit Video-Game Machine and rebirth of the ATARI Company. A machine with many and big muscles. But: There were no good and not many games for it. They were expensive, too.
Please try to look to this point. Givin' this more attention 'cause it would be to sad if such a good idea - converting audio data into graphical and back - would fail. I fear that.

Hi James,
How do the dual PCIE graphics SLI boards fit with your plans - these boards do are set up to process alternate lines as I understand it.
