lets be truely honest, a single card can play all games out there pretty well and even at high resolutions and a little eye candy. I can live without the 16x12 6xaa 14xaf or whatever maxes ati's out, and anyway, this would be playable on high end single cards except perhaps only doom3 and farcry. by the time fear and stalker are out, the next gen will be here and the single card to put in my new system (long overdue) will be available

i am not goingto write it iff as i might need it to get 1920x1200 with AA in the future, but i cant see any real need right now

I have a 1280x1024 screen and my X800XT can run most games with some AA and always with AF so I really don't see the need for multicards...

But maybe I'll buy a SLI or Crossfire system for some fun

I'll be honest, I'm waiting to see how Sapphire's new cooling works out. After that, I'll decide what I'm going to do, especially since I bought my new video card not too long ago.

Not much point upgrading right now anything i get now will soon be bested by the ps3 and the xbox 360 so I would suggest waiting a bit before upgrading.

All I can say is for now,SLi rules!But I do still play the majority of my games on a single card system.My "Shark" rig is in my bedroom and my SLi rig is in the basement,in my office.And my wife gets ticked when I spend all nite down there.So,it's upstairs for me.Or I will get "cut off"!!!

Seems the cost benefit of it doesn't quite pan out yet. I'm sure things will change, but I'm not overly impressed. I have my differences with both camps on their approach to dual cards, time will tell if its worth it i guess.

i think its a possability that some day i may get dual card.

GeneralClaymore

Its a waste of money, we going backwardrs, pcs are suppose to be getting smaller not bigger, and all of them cards will make your computer more hotter.



you will be spending more doing dual then what you would if u doing 1 card so i see it as a waste of money.

IMHO no use in it until games are multithreaded on dual core's. Too many games are CPU bound these days. And the higher levels of AA they plan on implementing will only strengthen the need for a dual core system.

the reviews i've read keep saying that crossfire isn't as big an improvment as SLI was. 1 6800 ultra scores around 6k in 3Dmark05 and 2 6800 ultras score around 10k in in 3Dmark05. The 3Dmark05 benchmarks i've seen of x850XTs are around 7k dual x850XTs in 3Dmark05 is around 10k as well. On a percentage basis the 6800 ultra SLI is far superior than ATI's Crossfire that's coming out. But then again, it hasn't been released and still has room for improvment by the time of release.

i voted "hasnt impressed me so far, but who knows".

I do see the benefits of running dual video cards, but ATM i don't really see a whole lot of benefit for shelling out $1000 (or more) on two video cards for only a 25% performance gain.
