Multi GPU SLI or Crossfire is still a disaster. For both the GX2 and the X2.Quote:

Driver Heaven as an interesting review of an 4870x2 crossfire vs tri sli gtx280 on a skulltrail board with the cores overclocked to 4.4 ghz:shocked:
http://www.driverheaven.net/reviews....d=609&pageid=4
I suspect the pci express x16 slots could be holding the 4870x2 back.
it's a nice review, but it lacks power consumption and opengl tests.Quote:

Graphics VP expects AMD to stay on top for “some time”
What's next?
Of course AMD has to stick two 4870 GPUs on one board to win this prize. We ask if it offers any advantages over two single 4870s on a CrossFire motherboard. "The 4870X2 has 2G GDDR5 memory, which provides the end user a performance boost in high resolutions and high settings," says Byrne. "This is also a single slot board and doesn't require a CrossFire motherboard. It's just an awesome product and we're selling every board we produce.
"The great news is that demand keeps growing and we are significantly increasing our market share in both the channel and the OEM markets. The 4000 series graphics cards are considered by users and by customers as the best graphics cards available in the market today."
Byrne seemed pretty jubilant when we spoke to him just after the 4800 series launch. We ask him if his initial optimism has proven justified. "The great news is that demand keeps growing and we are significantly increasing our market share in both the channel and the OEM markets," says Byrne. "The 4000 series graphics cards are considered by users and by customers as the best graphics cards available in the market today."
The only way to stay ahead in the graphics market is to constantly innovate. To conclude we ask Byrne what we can expect to see next from AMD. Watch this space; you won't need to wait long for our next chat," he says. "Remember, the HD4870 X2 was step two, step three is imminent."

So I guess step three is HD4850X2?
and maybe sideport activation or HavockQuote:

HD4870 X3 with a shrink die and 100% scaling. :D
Or perhaps a 400 mm^2 384 bit 1.5 GB GDDR5 upscale derivative of RV770 ? OK, drawing straws there, move on. :D
When R600 was released, it was announced that it would be a easily scaled architecture that would be used in 3 generations... so RV770/R700 is just the 2nd step. R800/RV870 will be a continuation, but might be amazing
Or maybe it could be...Catalyst 8.8!!! (Nah, too early for that :p:)Quote:

What about 500watt and G260?Quote:

I suggest going with a single 4850, or get this:

And you can power up even the X2 without problems.
Sideport enabled @ benchforum in Serbia :)
"Step 3" has always been the lower-end implementation of the RV770 core.
Which I have to say, RV710 is gonna revolutionize budget graphics.Quote:

I made 22000+ on XP, 3dmark06. Is that good?
What CPU? You have beat out my score of 19840, though I am running Vista SP1 on a 3.54GHz quad.Quote:
