No unfortunately. My understanding, although I have not actually tried one
of these cards is that they really are just two completely self-contained
GPUs mounted side by side. There is no sharing of memory other than through
the attached PCI-E connection which they share. As such if the card's total
memory is 3GB then each GPU gets 1.5GB of memory available to it. There is
no possibility for the other GPU to use the other GPUs memory. Hence really
consider this to be two 1.5GB underclocked GTX580 cards sitting in PCI-E x8
slots.
All the best
Ross
