DUAL GPU Graphics Cards & Does TRIPLE GPUs Exist ???

[Lycaone]

First of all I wuold like to have a list of all the dual (NOT SLI) GPUs (even those from 2010).
---------> IT'S JUST A CURIOSITY BECAUSE I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO POINT ON HAVING A DUAL GPU IN MY PC.

And does triple GPUs exist or existed ???

If so can you give me a list of those too .....

TY

Triple GPU graphics cards did exist, in the late 90's there was a 3Dfx Voodoo model.

The most recent Dual GPU card was the AMD R9 295x2 and the GTX TitanZ. Other than maybe some Quadro or Firepro cards nothing has been released since like 2014.

This article has most all of them:

The two that are on the last couple slides that do not have descriptions are the HD7990 and the GTX Titan Z.

I don't believe there are any recent triple GPUs.

Edit: beat me to it.

I thought the unreleased Voodoo 5 6000 had 4 GPUs, I don't recall a triple GPU from them. If they did, I would love to own one.

late 90s yes. But now that Nvidia has hault Tri-SLI and Quad-Sli you will never seen a Tri-CPU card from them. I don't know AMD has ever considered Tri-Crossfire since just Crossfire barely works normally.

This is in reference to the number of GPUs on a single card, not multiple discrete GPUs in a system.

I figured the Titan Z would be the last from Nvidia. AMD didn't make a dual Fury or a dual Hawaii so you have to go back to the 7990.

Not sure how I forgot about the 295x2 it was the top dog for a while there.

I can't imagine they made very many Pro Duo though.

Correct they did not, it was more of a content creation card, not really gaming focused.

Voodoo 4 4500 was 1 GPU
Voodoo 5 5000 had half the memory of the 5500, also never released.
Voodoo 5 5500 was 2 GPU (I bought one of these on ebay about ten years ago)
Voodoo 6 6000 was 4 GPU - never released

"Voodoo 5 6000

The Voodoo 5 6000 is the unreleased high-end product in the Voodoo5 line. It was to use four 166 MHz VSA-100 processors, each with its own 32 MB of 166 MHz SDRAM, resulting in the first 128 MB graphics card (consisting of sixteen 8 MB chips). Approximately 1000+ test cards were produced. Because the card used more power than the AGP specification allowed for, a special power supply called Voodoo Volts had to be included with it. This would have been an external device that would connect to an AC outlet. Most of the prototype cards utilized a standard internal power supply molex power connector."

I'm sure I would have to pay a fortune, but now I really want one. External power, that is just hilarious.

Yeah I understand that. Just saying if Nvidia has dropped support for Tri-SLI they have zero reason to ever put 3 GPU on a card. AMD on the other hand has had poor support overall past a single card so that would be stupid on there part to release a Tri-card when x2 barely work normally.
