Of course you can compare the cards, most review do without any special segment, maybe Google can help. The single most important reason to use 2 GPU is to have fastest Graphic Card.
Yes there is a HUGE advantage to have 2 GPU on one card instead having to buy two cards. Here are just few, less power consumption, less heat, some mobos can't run 2 cards, even on my not exactly cheap mobo I would have to run them site by site, again more heat. The most important is the cost since the dual GPU cards cost less than 2 cards.
The bottom line is, selective post replying always goes on with never ending arguments. Maybe you should go read one more time here.
Here is your reply to my post, there sure was not need for it
My post was about "why all the negatives, gloom and doom" about AMD in this thread.
I only made that post after so many repeating post about AMD sinking ship and about the big trouble AMD is in because of Cayman.
Instead of replying to all the negative post and sometime out right troolls I responded with a single post trying to point out few positives not exclusively talking about HD 5970. Is that so bad in AMD thread? Do you really thing it is trolling? Do you know what trolling is?
You decided to ignore all and make selective reply going on with even more negatives. I can safely bet that most people using the HD 5970 wont agree with you, but you who doesn't have any knows better.
The ONLY way to have the most powerful graphic and gaming solution is either with dual card or multi card SLI or Crossfire, for me single card is better way.
I don't want to go on about this any more lets just say we disagree but next time please read and don't make selective personal attack post, there sure was not need for it. My last post on the subject. You want to talk more take it PM.
I noticed some people believe Cayman is going to really bad in synthetics benchmark but much better in games.
The new 3DMARK11 is probably going to be used most often.
Here is the "Ducati750ss" HD 6970 3DMARK11 Extreme 1920x1080 bench "score X1776 points" on AMD platform probably not with the latest driver.
On Xbit benchmarks the GTX 580 "scored 1947 points"

That makes the HD 6970 -8.78% slower than GTX 580 in this synthetic bench.
Maybe better driver and same platform can at least narrow that difference, anyway the best is to wait for the real reviews from unbiased reviewers, coming soon.
Those who this post was referenced to, might want to take heed. Admins already cleared out a bunch of useless tags this week for this thread.
Admins can also see who added the tags.
And the personal insults is a vacation-able offense if I'm not mistaken.
Please keep it civil guys.

He just stated:
"The switch also changes nothing in the Performance.Keine idea for what that is."

He just didn't put it in the release notes.
