Grayskull... if someone other than working for the industry had a board, and some results, we wouldn't be having this conversation, and you wouldn't be making these posts. The sources you mention are biased, IMHO, as they all get engineering samples from you ATI folk. We all know Macci gets good hardware from you guys too, even though he works/is affiliated with 3dmark. Just because Jason is here pumping nVidia just shows how scared nvidia is.

We've since figured it all out and have demonstrated that Grouper and Halibut are both very phase friendly.
Is this why the Bullhead is not shown anymore, or is the bullhead the normal crossfire layout? That's some great info. Basically what you are saying is that the halibut and grouper are seriously tweaked versions of the bullhead, which was a decent performer in it's own right. That's VERY good to hear, but we all would really like to see these boards for ourselves.
