    Multi-GPU means cards like the GTX295 which have two processors on the single board, afaik.

    Which would explain why Grand Inferno has been getting shitful performance with his GTX295. Now it should rock.

    My fan on my 2nd Gen GTX 295 stopped working about 2 weeks after I purchased.

    I just modded a 80mm fan to fit in it blank spot where the fan was and it hasnt skipped a beat since.

    And that was 3-6mths ago now.

    New beta drivers out (197.13) which apparently don't melt cards.
