Attention gamers, start drawing up your holiday wish lists now. With so many new cards out now and in the pipeline, this is shaping up to be an awesome year for PC gamers. One card that we find particularly intriguing is Nvidia's dual-GPU 5x0 part, if such a thing exists.
News and rumor site Fudzilla says the two-GPU card will ship in December and since Nvidia isn't saying anything we'll just have to sit back and wait. According to Fudzilla, the card is based on two GF100-derived cores and you can expect this sucker to run hot.
Not to be outdone, AMD is planning a dual-GPU card of its own codenamed Antilles. Fudzilla says this will be marketed as a Radeon HD 6970 and will also run hot.

Don't buy anything this close to CES if you want to be sure you have the latest and greatest. Chances are that new stuff will be anounced at CES. In some casses it may not be available yet but at least you can then make an informed decision to buy now or wait.

So if the new dual gpu is the 6970, does this mean the 69xx cards will be dual GPU? And is it based on the 68xx GPUs? Or the promised GPUs in a higher bracket? And where will those cards fit into their naming system now?
These dual GPU cards could be X2s (like AMDs processor lineup) so the 69xx is still open for their upcoming cards... or they could push the 68xx all the way to the 6890...
