Maybe they did this to fool nvidia into thinking the cards are slower, and then bam gt300 killers in desquiese. I wouldnt be surprised, these things should be performing way faster considering no crossfire overhead. Or these drivers are very badly unoptimised.
Yeah, that's a very popular theory, although I don't think they would sabatoge performance on puprose. Chances are drivers just need more work, and we'll see if there are any new better performing drivers when 5770 launches, and then afterwards when GT300 does.
