Got this from Windows Magazine...

nVidia’s latest attempt to secure the performance crown from rival ATi comes in the form of the 7950 GX2 GPU. As a key nVidia partner, it’s no surprise to find that XFX already has three different GX2 boards in stores, with this GeForce 7950 GX2 570M XXX standing as the fastest of the lot.
The card is essentially made up of two 7900 GPUs working together via a custom developed PCI Express switch that was developed by nVidia. This is different from nVidia’s own Scalable Link Interface (SLI) in that the 7950 will happily function in a single PCI-E x16 slot. This means you don’t need to buy an SLI compatible motherboard. SLI support is however present so you can also run two of these cards together.
As this is XFX’s XXX variant of the card, the GX2’s two GPUs and 1Gbyte of DDR3 RAM tick along at 570MHz and 1.55GHz (nVidia’s reference specifications require cards to run at 500MHz and 1200MHz).
When put to the test, the 570M was unbelievably quick. F.E.A.R at 1024 x 768 and 1600 x 1200 pixels with 4x antialiasing (AA) returned figures of 112fps and 82fps. Sapphire’s overclocked Toxic X1900 XTX - the fastest X1900 XTX we’ve come across to date - which we reviewed last month, managed 89fps and 72fps at the same settings. We were also shocked to find that this card returned 3DMark 2003 scores of 23,604 and 15,464, compared to the Sapphire’s 14,421 and 9533.
