nVidia has decided to allow notebook owners to experience graphics-heavy applications in all their glory, announcing that there will soon be notebooks that have two 8800m GTX cards running in tandem. 8800 GTXs are DirectX10 enabled and currently nVidia’s most powerful card - running two of them at once should actually be able to achieve a decent framerate from even Crysis. It’s interesting to note how the press release always carefully refers to the PCs as notebooks and not laptops, since running two such high-end cards will surely generate a huge amount of heat and make the computer weigh at least 10 pounds. Such a large power drain would also quickly deplete battery life, which leads to the question: is it really worth getting such a high-end gaming laptop over a high-end desktop and a mid-range laptop for a roughly similar price?
