multi-core GPUs

I wonder when multi-core GPUs will be out instead of SLI type cards.

How about this:

The GeForce 7950 GX2 line are Dual-GPU graphics cards.
Even though they just stacked two 7900GT's on top of each other...

I think he meant dual-core GPU's, just like dual-core CPU's....

actually, these are dual cards or stacked cards on one slot. I meant multi-core, 2x, 3x, 4x etc on the same card. Kind of like a Core 2 duo or an Athlon X2 on the same card.... I wonder when these will be fielded.

having more than one graphics card gets to be very expensive. I'm sure multi core GPUs would cut down on this cost. I wonder why it hasn't been out yet.
