Pixel-filling power
The GeForce 7950 GX2 is really just SLI on a single card, but with a little fudging, it's possible to express the GX2's peak fill rate potential and memory bandwidth alongside the single-GPU cards out there.

....and this little experiment shows us what a monster the GX2 really is. All told, this thing has over twice the peak multitextured fill rate of a Radeon X1900 XT and a whopping 76.8 GB/s of memory bandwidth.

Feed the thing a synthetic fill rate benchmark, and it proves those numbers are for real:

No other "single" card comes close. Of course, taking advantage of this power in the real world could prove tricky. Let's move on to some games and see what happens.
