    Great review bro, thanks!

    I'm really excited to see cf performing so nicely as I am NEVER buying another Nvidia chipset.

    nVidia has shot themselves in the foot by limiting SLi to their motherboards. Having said that, the firing squad show that in some cases SLi can scale close to 100% per card and that the only way to play crysis at 1600x1200 on very high at 30fps is three ultra's.

    What I want to know is if xfire wil scale as well with 3 and 4 cards and if there will be x38/x48 boards with xfire(4) capability or if AMD are going to keep it to spider to try and shift phenoms.
