ATi 4870X2(R700) PCB Debut

[Caveman787]

Umm does anyone remember the press release they said 250w tdp I believe.

and it doesn't take fully twice the power that one card does, don't believe the 3870x2 or 9800gx2 did either. Just look at load on some review sights and you'll see.

I doubt it'll be to great scaling of 3 and 4 GPU's is bad right now as shown by tri and quad sli and previous crossfireX. Though since they seem to be focusing more toward dual card solutions they may have improved it a bit.

I'm gonna take a guess at scaling of maybe 30% or so for a 3rd card and like 15% for a fourth.
