Earlier today we took a look at AMD's Radeon HD 5970 graphics card. Comprised of two HD 5800-class GPUs on one board, its buttery-smooth performance at a 2,560x1,600 resolution made it, easily, the fastest gaming card on the planet.

But what if that's not enough? How about hooking two of them up for perverse performance. We've done just that and compared them the creme de la creme of the graphics world.

Get ready for mind-numbing numbers as we take a look at the very best PC graphics hardware has to offer.
