They still however look like 2 Cards to the system. XFire/SLI is just done internally.
    It will be treated as a single by the game tho. SLI/XFire is specifically bridging two cards together and running them from two or more PCI-E slots. Unless games treat your card as an SLI/Xfire setup, its just one card to them.

    Tho I may be wrong... doesnt seem like one card, 2 gpu or 1 should be treated like an SLI/XFire setup.

    2 GPUs on one card uses SLI/CrossFireX to link them.

    Notice that Nvidia call two GTX 690 Quad SLI.
    NVIDIA Quad SLI® Technology3
    Used by the most demanding gamers worldwide, Quad SLI lets you link up to two GeForce GTX 690s together for astounding performance. And with NVIDIA’s track record for fast and frequent software updates, you’ll not only get the best performance in existing games, but future games too.
