The
Inquirer reports that the concept won't be tied into the "1GPU does
GPU-stuff, 1GPU does PPU-stuff", but rather sharing a dynamic load. RingBus
memory controller is of course, the guilty party for making Physics & GPU
sharing a reality. Even better, it will probably not be required to use two same
spanking cards at the same time - shelling out 500 dollars for a GPU and another
500 for the "GPU with identity crisis" is really not a great idea. ATI's
approach is set at raising the number of sold X1600 boards and getting rid of
old R520 stock. Of course, there'll be much more info from ATI when the NDA
lifts and Nvidia's non-flexible SLI Physics get some competition. One thing is
certain: competition is a really good thing to have!
