nVidia Cards

[yumri]

Anyone have any idea when and if nVidia will come out with a dual GPU consumer graphics card as they just did for the Tesla cards called the Tesla K80 so appently they are still in the business just just slapping on another GPU for more preformance gains. I ask as atm the GTX 980 is the king of all the nVidia non-SLI setups but if a 990 or something like that comes out wouldnt that be better? or do GeForce dual GPU cards have to many problems for it to be good?

Dual GeForce cards have very little in terms of issues, but they have seemingly centered their dual-GPU cards towards the higher end. A dual-GTX 980 card would be nice, but maybe they're focusing their efforts toward the next generation.

 

And a dual-core card is an SLI setup.

Well, they're rumoured to be releasing the more powerful Maxwell cards soon, will probably depend on what AMD releases though. I don't think a dual GPU card would come around before those, or it might not come at all if AMD doesn't release anything that puts pressure on them.

Performance wise, a 990 would be better. Much the same as Fermi's 590 and Kepler's 690, it would feature two of the highest tier gpus with slightly reduced clocks speeds.

GK110, GK210 are really powerful cards for even workstations/Supercomputing right now. Nvidia isn't worried about Dual card GPU's right now, they could have a huge single gpu card ready by May 2015.

Dual GPU's (two GPU's on the same PCB) may work better with how efficient Maxwell/900-series is, but right now it's just speculation because we don't have reviews or benchmarks to prove anything.

 

Of course, if a 980ti or 990 (assuming that model would be the dual-GPU model) will be better. And again, we have no benchmarks or reviews to say one way or another.

 

So you can wait, or you can buy a 980 and just be happy with it because it's a beast card as it is.
