    So anyone know anywhere I can get a decent Dual DVI Card from? Around the £150 mark. (something like a 9600 / 5700)

    As they are both 5700 Ultras I suspect they will perform exactly the same as each other. Both will use nVidia drivers and both will be based on the reference design. So it is all down to brand snobbery :)

    The Gainward card runs at a core freq of 500MHz and the XFX 475MHz, and the memory is OC'd on the Gainward too.

    I think I will just buy it for them and hope...

    Well it came, and turned out to be a VGA+DVI Model. Went straight back to them.

    Neither the Matrox G550 or FireGl will play games decently, they are predominently workstation cards.

    Using two cards is not an option either as they takeup too much space and generates more heat also.

    It is so hard to find any Dual DVI Cards...

    Price and availability will be clearly posted in the review. This is a "very" new product but I will be sure to include how/where it can be found when I publish the review. ;)

    Hi, i belive Hollycomputers have our Ultra/960 (5700 Ultra) Dual DVI card in stock. There was only a limited number of these manufactured due to memory shortages!

    Any Ideas if one of those will fit into a shuttle? They look rather long!
