As for the quad 7950GX2 well for the moment not many games know how to handle 4GPU's because of the stupid DX9 that dosen't allow 4 way AFR + the drivers that are a wreck wright know....who knows, maybe whith the next quad optimized driver nvidia will get it right...
Until then they deserve some :slapass: for not allowing users tu utilize at least 60-70% of a 1300$ quad system :fact:

P.S I'm waiting eagearly to see how well those GDDR4 chips will OC until then X1950XTX will remain a pretty cooler that dosen't deserve an upgrade from X1900XTX ;)

I don't understand what you're saying. They tested (apparently) two X1950XTXs and 2 7950 GX2s. Last time I checked the X1950XTX was supposedly to launch at $450. I doubt two of those would be twice the cost of two 7950 GX2s....

You are correct though, there are some issues with quad SLI in many of those games. One game that it is working correctly in is FEAR and as you can see, it still holds an advantage in that game.

I wish they had of benched it against something more reliable, like Crossfire X1900XTs...
