Well if it's just the same thing as before I'm not interested in the X2. I don't care about what FRAPS says or what 3dmark says, I only care about how the game plays.

Let's just hope that the 4870 is good as a single card because this tactic of skimping on the design and bunching chips together in a microstutteringly fabulous package is not very enticing at all. If they're going to do multi-GPU configurations to compete it better be a good method of combining them.
