    The Nvidia 7800GT Dual is an oddball card from that era. Nvidia made a dual chip card back in 2004-2005 and they deemed it so power hungry that it had supplementary power routed to the rear, and an external power supply brick was packaged alongside it. It was a monster of a card, measuring nearly 10 inches long, and could make a 350W PSU beg for mercy. How the times have changed

        HELL YES ATI CLAN REPRESENT!

        My 5990 mined me SO much early bitcoin (now if I had just saved any)

        the *990 series were BEASTS, literally had to cut out metal in my drive bays just to fit it in.
