Galaxy threw two cores onto one PCB for high-performance SLI-on-a-card loving.
There have been rumours floating around the internet for quite some time about Galaxy's dual GTS250 card - literally a card with two cores squeezed on there - but it's only recently that we've received confirmation.
The card itself sports two GTS250 cores running at overclocked speeds of 675MHz on the core, though the memory speeds remain unknown.
This is an interesting move by Galazy, due to the expense of designing a custom PCB for two cores, but due to the end-of-life status given to all NVIDIA high-end cores in the GTX260/28x series it makes a lot of sense too.
Performance is actually very good, coming in supposedly almost at the level of a GTX280 card, though whether the price matches this remains to be seen.
