Leadtek's PX7950 GX2 TDH is based off of Nvidia's newest tech that does what Asus and Gigabyte have for quite some time. To sum it up, it features two video cards connected together functioning in SLI without the need for a bridge or even an SLI chipset. As you might recall we've reviewed cards much like this from video card vendors for quite some time but this is the first time Nvidia has specifically made their own version for release. Why did Nvidia do this? One of the reasons is what you might have heard of called Quad SLI, which so far has been only available to system vendors such as Dell or Alienware. While the technology is here in the 7950 for Quad SLI and the only components necessary are a high-end power supply, good cooling, and a BIOS update, Nvidia does not want to put it out on the market for the hardware enthusiast so unfortunately most will have to buy fully built systems if they truly want to go over the edge with Quad SLI but ultimately the benefits even for the most taxing gamines would probably be slim to none.
