Hey guys, latest GPU buying spree lead to me snagging 2 of these rare cards.

7900GX2's (not to be confused with 7950GX2)

"GeForce 7900 GX2
GeForce 7900 GX2 also known as GeForce 7900 GTX Duo

The GeForce 7900 GX2 is two videocards stacked to fit as a dual slot solution.[21] This is not like products such as the ASUS Dual GeForce 7800 GT or nVidia's own 7950 GX2, where two GPUs are on the same card. This enables quad-SLI on two PCI Express x16 slots. Other OEM companies have access to the GX2 and it is now available from numerous vendors.

The card features a 500 MHz GPU and 1200 MHz effective RAM speed. Although the power of the GX2 is less than the 7900 GTX, each card is more powerful than the 7900 GT.

Many issues in this implementation of a dual-GPU unit convinced Nvidia to restrict its sale to OEM companies. The card is extremely long, with only the largest e-ATX cases being able to hold it. Two of the cards operating in quad-SLI also required extremely well designed airflow to function, and demanded a 1000 watt power supply unit."

These things are beast mode lol
