wow nice find dan,thats some serius GPU power there...

i would prefer two 8800 Ultras in SLI though over those four 4870.

im shocked at the benchmarks for crysis using 4x 4870,they are poor.

I know, 2 cards in Crossfire beat 4 cards didn't they? What's with that, lol.

I'd prefer two GTS'

It just shows, more cards aren't worth the money. But then again, the board was x16/x16/x4/x4, and I'm sure that had some sort of impact on the performace.

It's not that shocking when you think about it. The whole system has to coordinate the rendering of frames for four GPUs, that's quite complex. And their still developing the drivers.

well yeah you have a point,personaly i think its just not worth getting 4Gfx cards all they do is eat more electricity and games these days do not require all that power.

they can run happly on a single high end card.
