Zotac GTX 460 X2 - Dual GPU

With the GF104, which first came on the GTX 460 is used, the Nvidia Fermiprodukte brought to the actual market. The big sisters GTX 470 and GTX 480 were found to be far too energy-hungry, produced too much heat and cost a small fortune. That one of two small chips conjure something big can show images of a dual GPU card made by PNY.

This enabled the colleagues of Expreview a working copy of the new dual GPU card to get in front of the lens, which has in impressive detail. Thus, the two DirectX 11 GPUs on the veteran NF200 chip communicate with each other, while their 2x 336 Cuda cores and 2 x 256-bit wide memory interface to provide 2 x 1GB GDDR5 memory for the necessary large raw performance.



Really exciting, however, is the used PCBs. So this is not only excessive, but also projects nearly 2 cm beyond the SLI connector. On the additional space will place the power supply, each of three phases is strong, the store must be content with at least 2 phases. That a dual GTX 460 will be provided also in accordance with energy shows on the two built-in 8-pin PCIe power connectors. The problem here is mainly that this solution is no longer the PCI Express standard is compliant, which limits the upper limit for the power of such a card with 300 watts - this card seems particularly likely to crack as well.



To visualize the performance of the customer 4 DVI ports are available, which also multi-monitor fans should be well served. The price and a release date, there are no details as to the name that will carry the product afterwards. If this is acting at its own interpretation of a GTX 580 from Zotac?
