what is the difference between a single module and dual module GPU??

[vickigoh]

I know that usually a Graphic card is like GTX980 4GB or GTX960 4GB..this is called a single module graphic card. But i heard like palit GTX 950 storm X dual 2GB..is this a dual module graphic card??

What is the main difference and performance?

So far i never came across dual module graphic card so wish to know more about it.

What the heck are you talking about?? Lol...

You refering to SLI or two/three slots card?

sli - putting 2 identical architecture gpu into the same motherboard.

Two/three slot - gpu that uses two or three pci slots on the case. May affect SLI to a certain extent.

if u take a look at palit webby, 950 stormx has 1fan, 950 stormx dual has 2fans

The one you're referring to, the "dual" refers to the fans.

Dual module cards are in the high end range... (E.g., Titan Z and R9 295X2). Older cards were like Gtx 690, Radeon HD 7990?

What is the main difference and performance?

So far i never came across dual module graphic card so wish to know more about it.

Think TS referring to cards with dual GPU chips on a single board, like Titan Z and R9 295X2.

LOL...is not SLI...

But my spolited GTX980 4gb Strix has dual fans too.

cause someone recommend me a GPU and is a dual module and is 2x2GB in a graphic card..so i never heard of that too.

I only know that Palit GTX950 Storm X dual 2gb ..mean only have 2 fans only??

 

[royfrosty]

I have no clue what ts is trying to say.

 

[vickigoh]

@kandinsky...ya i think is dual module card..so mean dual module card is better than single module card?

@kandinsky..so far Titan Z and R9 295X2 has it??? din know is for high end range card

Dual????

Dual can mean dual-GPU (2 GPU chips within the same card), or dual-fan cooling system.

Wad do u wan?

The proper term should be dual gpu single card.

2x2GB vram most prolly gtx 690 (dual 680s) or ROG MARS (dual 760s)

Yeah module is very unclear terminology

Ram module
Pwm module
Gpu module
Etc.

From the follow-up posts, he seems to be talking about dual-fan cooling configs leh...

Waiting for him to clarify.

 

[muddle]

Dual gpu on a single card eliminates the need for sli/cfx connector. But most of such cards were clocked lower than their single gpu versions in order to reduce power and tdp requirement. Ended up slower than multi card configurations. And micro stuttering will still be there. Only good thing is the smaller footprint and probably the lower power consumption.

 

[hlots123]

you guys are right he asking abt dual gpu card.
but he confused everybody by putting 950 stormx dual (wrong) example which can be easily cfm by himself on palit webby.

LOL...ya correct..sorry for confusion as i din know can have dual gpu single card..

I google to check you 295x2 and is 2x4gb vram card.

So if a 4gb GPU vs 2x2gb GPU which will be better?

Of course 4GB

In dual gpu situation, a 2x2 configuration doesn't equal to 4gb of total available ram. The framebuffer will always be limited to 2gb. The other 2gb is a duplicate of that.

Dx12 is supposed to fix this.

Directx 12 is suppose to be sibei satki until can combine all three IGP, AMD and Nvidia GPU to work together.

Moi tan gu gu to see it happening.

 

[vickigoh]

Actually i want to ask is 2x2gb vram in a single card cause that what the repair guy told me..

Sorry for confusing you all...so it worked like a SLI but just that is in a single card right?
