ATI has informed that the new generation of graphic cards will feature dual-GPU proposals, commonly known as X2.

The R800 will be based on two RV870 chips, 40nm GPUs and compatible with the new DirectX 11 that will be launched with Windows 7. According to rumors, seems that the new dual GPU will be a direct competition to Nvidia’s GT300.

The R800, as well as the GT300 from nVIDIA, will probably be launched by the end of this year.
