Photo of GT300 based card

Lol, good luck making an x2 with that die size.

I don't think you'll be hearing your case asking you if that card was in yet. . .

That card is also a non-functioning mockup, which compared to a released on-sale, arse kicking 5870 just doesn't compare. nVidia only recently got back their first trial silicon back from TMSC, they are no where near release. By the time this card comes out it'll be probably be competing with 5890X2, and with how complicated the GT300 die and 384 bit memory bus will be, any GT300 X2 (whatever it'll be called) would be some extremely expensive dual card monstrosity which would get its arse handed to it in price/performance.
