Our friends over at TweatTown have just posted a preview of the GECUBE Dual GPU Gemini 3, a dual Radeon HD 2600 XT video card.

Here’s what they had to say:

“As you can see from the results, the Gemini 3 offers some pretty good performance increases in Crossfire mode compared to single GPU mode. It’s not twice the performance, but in Call of Juarez it’s close at 1024x768. It’s not an amazingly fast card but in this case there’s two issues, first of all the CPU we used is not as fast as the one we normally use, and secondly we have a feeling that the DDR2 memory is holding back the full potential of this card, but more on that in the full review.”


Although this could be a fairly decent product, GECUBE has really limited the Gemini 3 by outfitting it with DDR2. I suspect that they chose this route in order to cut costs, and ensure that the video card wouldn’t be overpriced. However, it will surely be outperformed by rival dual GPU products, which will undoubtedly feature superior GDDR3 or GDDR4.
