With Nvidia keeping busy gluing strings, sticks and paper to its paper dragon, some of their partners have decided to use some of that spare time to try and squeeze more performance from currently available technology. Expreview now reports that Galaxy has something “new” up its sleeve – the first ever dual-core GTS250 graphics card.

Galaxy uses two low-power edition G92-426 GPUs, which should do well to keep power consumption at more reasonable levels. Each GPU has 1GB worth of 0.8ns DRAM chips at its disposal, which run on a 256-bit memory interface. The card boasts 6-phase design and uses Bussmann chokes, which should cater mostly to hardcore overclockers.

We’re not sure whether Galaxy can pull this card off and make it commercially viable, but we’re pretty sure that it will be a tough task. Performance aside, DirectX 11 is here and simple juicing up of “old” cards won’t be that appealing to those looking forward to playing new titles in all their glory. What we’re sure of, though, is that this card won’t do much to divert media attention from the fact that Nvidia ain’t got squat on AMD as of yet, and it looks to remain that way for a while.
