After the release of the 7800GTX GPU AsusTek Computers have decided to abandon the 6800-series cards, and go for the new generation dual 7800GTX graphic cards.
The prototype they had for dual 6800-series cards were no doubt powerfull. AsusTek said that they were about 1.7 times faster than cards with single GPU. But the downfall was that the cards size became a negative factor as their size became larger in both thickness and length.
