The Zone

With the release of NVIDIA's 9800 GX2 we're seeing more and more multi GPUs pre-daisy chained together and embedded into a single graphic card. With what started as two graphic cards stuck together (the GeForce 7900 GX2) we now see two GPU's pre-crossfired on a single PCB (AMD-ATI's Radeon HD 3870 X2) or pre-SLIed like the current multi-GPU on a stick, the 9800 GX2. Will we see more multi GPU graphic cards using the same concept in the not so near future? Perhaps a pre-triple SLI 8800 GTX GX3 or 8800 Ultra GX3? Or maybe a quad crossfire HD 3870 X4?

Time will tell, but with actual development of new GPU's using smaller fabrication processes taking up too much time and effort (and both companies just having released new GPU series), its unlikely that either NVIDIA or AMD-ATI will begin rolling out a new series of GPUs more powerful than the current single card multi-GPU. My only question is, will these multi GPU cards get thicker or longer?
