The Fermi Thread - Part 3

Thats because most people probably know you generally don't directly compare multigpu cards with single gpu cards.

Might as well consider 2p & 4p rigs directly compared with 1p rigs.

Then why did people compare mcm core2quad cpu's with AMD Phenoms? The phenom was a "true quad core" compared to core2quads. The 5970 was designed to work as and like a single gpu.

The 4870X2 was made to compete with gtx285, Nvidia wasnt able to make the gtx295 for a long time till they were able to shrink and keep power in check.

Single socket is single socket, did you have pay a premium for two physical cpus & double ram or need custom profiles, no.

5970 was designed as a dual gpu solution on a single card and is priced & competes accordingly, single gpu should be self explanatory.
