It´s a diferent crossfire because R700 will use a new feature that 2x RV770 in one mainboard can not use.

I never said 4800 series as such sucked. Its just not the divine reborn of chirst that you and a few others think.

You are the first trashing HD4800 everywhere. And if HD 4800 is not the reborn of chirst it is very close for the reactions we have seen

There is a reason its 199 and 299$ and not 299 and 499$. Unless you think AMD think its funny to lose money. nVidia instantly countered the 4850 card as expected in price. Since most of us non fanboys knows nVidia milked us.
The reason is writen everywere. First AMD target more volume (200-300$ market), and second HD 4800 cards are less expensive to produce. It´s writen everywere I don´t need to guess.
And AMD want to get back lost market share in the next 2 quarters and that´s the way to go -> strong performance and less expensive then competiton.

And I sure hope it has a corssfire sideport. What do you think goes through the ribbon?
I am not sure of nothing. I simply wait knowing that is there something new in R700. I just don´t start trashing the card.
