Tri-SLI gets X15310, at EXTREME SETTINGS

You link to 2xHD4870CF getting P12000 at PERFORMANCE SETTINGS, if you actually read the chart that you linked you will see clearly that 2x4870CF scores X6433 at EXTREME SETTINGS, so 2x4870CF is about 1/3 of GTX280 SLI, or 6433 vs. 15310.

Again Nvidia has the ultimate performance crown, even if it doesn't have the lowest cost.
do u realize that NV has all illegal scores on 3dmark rite now sine it uses the agea CUDA in the driver and breaks like 5 rules so u have 2-3k more than u should with 3 cards, all ur doing is arguing a moot point , u would be strapped to a glitched platform just for 1000+W of power draw on grafix and terrible IQ and $3200 for MB and grafix
