Good to know what will be the next two GPU on one board system to fail economically. Can't believe they are still making them in the midrange.Quote

Any word on a quad-crossfire driver yet? Would be a nice setup... *drool*Quote

I fail to see the point of these products as a whole, I've had both CrossFire and SLI setups (my X1900's lasted 3 whole days before I swapped them for a 7950GX2, which was marginally better but not much) and since I tend to play more niche games, particularly racing sims, I would find performance was generally worse than a single card.

At least when you have a fast card from the outset then when multi-GPU support lets you down you still have a fast card to fall back to.
Going for two slow GPUs on a single board doesn't make sense to me. Its not going to be especially cheap nor especially good.Quote

Dual cards are something the masses can understand.

Try explaining exactly why a 8800 is worth twice the price of a 8600 to your average consumer and you'll just get a glazed look.

Saying a card is actually a double card and has two lots of everything and they understand much better.Quote
