Nvidia to flog GeForce 7950 GX2 as a single card

NVIDIA PLANS to sell its upcoming, doubled-up, if shorter, Geforce 7950 GX2 cards as a single card. You will of course be able to buy two of them for use in Quad SLI, but a single card will work happily on its own. It should settle down at around the €/$600+ price and should be announced on the last day of May, the 31st, of course.

We think Nvidia can really give ATI a run for its money here, as it plans to position a two-chip single card against ATI's top-of-the-line Radeon X1900XTX. The Geforce 7950 GX2 card will roughly cost the same or it might end up little more expensive than ATI's but it will certainly outperform a single-chip Radeon X1900 XTX.

It won't be a cheap card to produce but it sure has all the chance of being the fastest one.

So, if you were thinking about buying two 7900 GTX cards, you might want to hold your breath for two more weeks and buy a two-chip, two-PCB 7950 GX2 for just a little bit more money. µ
