Gainward BLISS 7900GS nVidia GeForce 7900 GS 512MB has Dual link DVI support and is - SLI ready – Delivering upto 2x the performance with two cards.
Many people are mixing up Dual-Link and Dual-DVI.
Dual DVI means that there are two DVI connectors on your graphics card. Each of these connector might be Dual-Link or not. Explained with plain words, the single-link DVI connection can carry enough information to build a 1920x1080 pixels image at 60hz. Dual-link DVI doubles the bandwidth and therefore allows a 2560x1600 image to be send from the computer at a frequency of 60hz (or 60 images per seconds).
A single dual-link DVI connector is required to use the maximum resolution of this screen. If a dual-link is not present, a 1280x1024 pixels image will be displayed. Make sure that you connect the monitor on the proper DVI connector as most dual-link cards have two DVI connectors, one of which is not dual-link capable. Note that it is possible to get a dual-dual-Link graphics card capable of driving two Dell 3007WFP monitors.
See the Instructional Video on this page to see an example of dual card connection.

"Dual" could mean dual monitor setup in one card... or dual graphic card setup, Aka SLI where you pop 2 video cards in the motherboard to make one monster out of the 2..
