The Inquirer got some interesting material that features Quad SLI GX2 cards and we are happy to share a few details with you. A new Quad SLI GX2 board features two NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GX2 GPU's on a two separate printed circuit boards. The chip is based on the G71M, as we said before, packaged at 37.5 x 37.5 mm package. The board is 22.5 cm long, much shorter than the original 33.5 cm long GeForce 7900 GX2 card. The old Quad SLI is available at OEM's only. The new GeForce 7950 GX2 card consumes 143W per card. As you need two GX2 cards to make the Quad SLI work, you will end up with a total draw of 286W for two cards.

The core is clocked at 500MHz while the GDDR3 memory runs at 1200MHz. Each
chip addresses 512MB of memory, meaning that each card has 1024MB memory or that
Quad SLI totally features 2GB of graphic memory. Each card comes equipped with
two Dual link DVI-I connectors and HDTV out. The card supports HDCP and we are
sure that you cannot use more than a single monitor in Quad SLI. NVIDIA is
keeping quite in its reviews but you should be able to buy and order those cards
soon. We still don't know whether those cards will go to retail, nor the price,
but we guess it'll be close to €750 for a single GeForce 7950 GX2 card.
