Alienware Proposes to Licence its Multi-GPU Technology - Can Enable ‘Multi-ATI’ Graphics Systems

October 27th 2004 | Graphics Cards

The X2 and Video Array still require a chipset that may support a number of PCI Express slots, such as Intel’s E7525 and NVIDIA nForce4. Preliminary testing of dual graphics cards shows performance gains of more than 50% compared to single graphics card configuration. The more graphics intense the application, the more performance increase gained.

IWILL USA, an industry-leading server and workstation mainboard manufacturer, has signed a non-exclusive license agreement with Alienware to promote this product and predicts that such mainboards “will be in high demand in the very near future”.

NVIDIA Corp. also offers a technology that allows two graphics cards to work in parallel to deliver additional speed. While NVIDIA’s approach is commercially available now, Alienware’s technology allows to install both NVIDIA- and ATI-based graphics cards.
