Well its not designed for gaming, but its cool to see how the 9700 can be adapted. And so soon after release.

well if that can be done for a semi decent price ill chuck parhelia away and buy it. no banding - magic.

Semi decent price? I doubt it.

Plus...dual chip? Er...ATi? Bleh, chances are it will be AFR. Which is crap.

A better solution would probably be a 9700Pro plus a G450 PCI

it won't be cheap. thats a professional card, designed for professional apps.... there is no way it will be cheap...

Try 4 9700's. 9.6Gpixels/s does sound very much like 4 chips.

Yeah, I got that

[funky-d-munky]

I belive it is used for miltary simulations. The 9700 architecture was designed so up to 256 cores can be used. Not really a commercial card, but we will see what the Nvidia card makes them do. The triple head is only available with the 4 vpu version.

Ps- anyone know it the P was designed with multi-chips in mind?

[DGhost]

the P was probably designed in a manner similar to the way the other matrox chips were... i am guessing that over a PCI bus you could very easily add more cores (ie, the MMS series of cards). not quite the same as they don't aid each other with rendering, but i'm gonna guess thats about the best that could be done with them.
