Have not been following the news this year until lately, and only today noticed this post: TU Gold Leader for this encouraging rumor.
My gtx 590 classified wants to be bested by a dual card like this.
We bypassed the 690 after upgrading from a 290 only a year before that. 690 just was not that much better when our 590 performs so well in our current rig. It has been years that we are waiting for a card that is in every way better than our 590.
No 790 dual card ever came our way, and the Titans did not inspire us sufficiently while discouraging us with ridiculous price profiles.
A gpu upgrade along the lines of a 990 is something we can be enthusiastic about.
I have preferred single slot solutions ever since the 290 appeared, and we were able to make the 290 and our present 590 work well with air cooling.
Looking forward to official news but so far nothing. I began to hope for such a card as this when the 980s were released but along with this post from Gold Leader I have not seen anything official apart from rumors. And ever since the waning days of the 690, which is the last great NVidia dual card solution, the rumors have been like the fog that dissipates in the light of day, so that visions that seemed so promising prove to be only illusory, never more than rumor.
I remain hopeful and I continue to enjoy gaming with my never faltering gtx590 classified. I have no desire to buy two cards again and do a mechanical SLI set up.
