XGI Volari Duo V8 Ultra Review @ Digit-Life
Published: Monday, February 16, 2004 | Posted By: Dennis
The initial release of this card didn't seem to turn many heads, performance was less than expected and the price tag was pretty high. Though I've always been a sucker for a SMP and the whole dual processing movement.
"Obviously, dual-processing is based on the old principle of master and save processors. They have a special internal bus between them marked as X-Link (also known as BitFluent). This is actually the internal AGP2x, 32 bits wide and working at 133 MHz. The processors work similarly to those in the ATI RAGE MAXX - everyone renders its own frame, but unlike to ATI's product, the chips do not wait for each other to sync when rendering is completed."
