As listed below I have both graphic solutions to dink with. The crossfire rig gets 16,200 marks in 3d mark 05, the 7950gx2 gets 14,600. The CF-rig Can't run my 2 favorite games in crossfire (i'll figure it out this winter), the 7950 plays anything right out of the box for 1/2 the price of 2 ATI cards. I think I like simple more than novel.
