Their reviews are not the best anyways, they don't offer anything different (competitive advantage wise) than other review sites. What is worst is they don't like to test crossfire or SLI much, but when they do they prefer to do SLI. They are pretty much a Nvidia mouth piece kind of site.
Such a change in tone after what you said in this post.

"I find it funny how you backtrack on the 5970 in your review, but I understand why you did that. All cards at launch suck at performance compared to after being out a year. Nvidia always boosts their cards with driver updates. I would liked to see you guys do a SLI review in a few days other sites are showing almost a 2x boost from the standard 580.. Back to the 5970, most users that have these are not going to be attracted to the 580GTX in single gpu form and I wish you would have talked about that. I do commend you though on using the latest drivers for the ATI products though All in all I like your review more than any of the others, that includes Anandtech and Guru3d's reviews. I also like the folding comparison that you did between the 480 and 580.

I think people should take into fact that all the dual gpu cards minus the Asus one all use a 8pin and 6pin connectors just like the single gpu cards do. According the benchmarks the 5970 is still the single card king. "

Myself included, this thread has got us slightly too emotionally involved with these cards. We are lashing out at each other, changing our thoughts to get a point across and honestly nothing productive is being said because AMD is good a keeping secrets.

I recommend we close this thread because it has become a place where we just attack each other. AMD is too good a keeping things from leaking so any rumor is going to just going to start the trolling.
