    Yep. I'm not going to agree that they used 3 GPUs, because the Phenom rig photographed at GC 07 had 2.

    Anyway, ATi developed a way to where the workload is spread across the 3 GPUs, each card generates different parts of the images, then the data is transferred through the PCIe slot or CrossFire connector (can't remember which, but it's one of those) to the master card (the top card, not the master card with the stupid dongle) where the images are put together and sent to your monitor.

    "To exist in this vast universe for a speck of time is the great gift of life. Our tiny sliver of time is our gift of life. It is our only life. The universe will go on, indifferent to our brief existence, but while we are here we touch not just part of that vastness, but also the lives around us. Life is the gift each of us has been given. Each life is our own and no one else's. It is precious beyond all counting. It is the greatest value we have. Cherish it for what it truly is."
