so while ati still wont win the performance crown as nvidia can do tripple gtx 280 sli which is like hecta 9800gx2 sli, but you can all see how the prices are falling down, thanks to ati beeing back on track after their r600 set-back
If Nvidia doesn't get Nehalem license their SLI is basically obsolete. So why spend load of money on triple whatever from Nvidia.
